BoxingMbappe Spotted Partying with Kim Kardashian, Fans Worried About 'Curse'
- A section of fans are fearing Kylian Mbappe could suffer from the 'Kim Kardashian curse'
- The Frenchman was spotted partying with the millionaire television personality
- Meanwhile, Mbappe has enraged the PSG board by refusing to extend his contract
Footie fans are worried about Kylian Mbappe after seeing Paris Saint-Germain's cult hero having fun with Kim Kardashian.
Mbappe was sighted with a host of A-list celebrities at the extravagant Fourth of July party hosted by billionaire Michael Rubin.
The 24-year-old was at Rubin's Hamptons mansion in Long Island, New York, on Tuesday with a number of football, NFL, and basketball stars.
The Frenchman was decked out in a white outfit and was pictured with NFL legend Tom Brady as well as NBA superstars Joel Embiid and James Harden and British actor James Corden.
However, when a video of the party was posted online and Mbappe was seen mingling with Kardashian, football fans quickly became alarmed.
Kardashian had visited Mbappe’s PSG earlier this year, only to witness them lose their first home Ligue 1 game in 715 days as they fell 2-0 to Rennes, as previously reported by Sports Brief.
The American model was also blamed after Arsenal's botched attempt at the Premier League title last season. The Gunners were eight points clear at the top back in March when the American reality TV star flew to the Emirates to watch a game.
Since then, Arsenal won four, drew three, and lost three in a woeful run of results that handed City an edge in the title race.
And after seeing the most recent video of her with Mbappe, fans immediately urged the 2018 World Cup winner to keep his distance.

NBAPSG has failed to convince the 24-year-old superstar to extend his current deal, which is due to expire at the end of the 2023/24 season and is now looking to offload the French forward.
According to Sportskeeda, Mbappe has now asked to be paid a whopping €240 million by PSG if the reigning Ligue 1 champions are intent on getting rid of him this summer.
