The fundamental group of a Riemannian manifold with $\delta$-pinched negative curvature, $\delta >1/4$, cannot be the fundamental group of a quasicompact K\"ahler manifold. The proof also implies that a non-uniform lattice in $F_{4(-20)}$ cannot be the fundamental group of a quasicompact K\"ahler manifold. We also construct examples in the spirit of Gromov-Thurston to show that our result is a non-trivial extension of the previously known result that a non-uniform lattice in real hyperbolic space in dimension at least 3 cannot be the fundamental group of a quasicompact K\"ahler manifold.
