While Kevin De Bruyne is a renowned footballer and arguably one of the best worldwide, receiving credit for a Drake song was the last thing that fans expected.
Drake credits ‘K De Bruyne’ as a writer for his new diss track
Drake recently released a brand new double album titled ‘For All The Dogs – Scary Hours Edition’. Notably, in the 27th song of the album, ‘Wick Man’, Drake credited three songwriters for the track’s production. The three writers are A. Graham (Drake), A. Mamam (New York producer known as The Alchemist), and K. De Bruyne.
While speculations have gone wild, it is not clear whether Drake has credited the Manchester City star himself. Notably, popular music website Genius backs up the news about Kevin De Bruyne being credited as a writer. Interestingly, the song itself has no references to football, and it mostly focuses on Drake’s life and rap beef. In fact, Drake re-opens a long-running feud with fellow American rapper Pusha T on the track.
[Intro]
Yeah, grrat
Yeah, damn
I feel like John Wick, empty clips
Yeah, empty clips
Yeah, empty clips
[Verse 1]
Shell cases scatter the floor, bullets, they shatter the glass
I could feel the tension in this room like a chatter in class
Everyday breakin’ records, shit is just happening fast
That shit was a quick switch, yeah
I feel like I’m always on thin ice with a thick bitch
So many shots fired, I need me a clip switch
I’m in that fuckin’ bag right now I’m a lipstick
Sabbatical in Miami, this shit was holistic
Man, I remember niggas was jokin’ ’bout some tick, tick
And now that rapper broke as fuck, that boy statistic
Empty clips, yeah
Empty clips
[Verse 2]
I’m almost expressionless
John Cena wouldn’t know emotions I wrestlе with
Play ’bout the fact I was born a perfectionist
Still can’t еven wrap my mind around the success of this
Point me to your boss, nigga, you a receptionist
I really hate the fact I make this shit sound effortless
I put so much thought into the messages
It’s borderline obsessiveness, remember who you messin’ with
White America say I’m becoming a threat
Black America love to remind me what my mama look like
As if I’d ever fuckin’ forget
I’m never enough
Much to their dismay, I’m levelin’ up, yeah
There’s too much treasure to hunt, there’s too many hoes in the spot
The ratio seven to one
Livin’ for right now ’cause I really think heaven’s a front
Nadia died in Dubai
I waited on a spirit to come by for like seventeen months
That shit didn’t visit me once, damn
She wanted a better life
She wanted some opportunity, we wasn’t given a bunch
Her ex would eat away at her soul, that nigga a munch
The last message she sent to my phone’s about keeping in touch
So pardon me questioning God and not believing in much
It’s Wick, man, don’t listen to Wikipedia
Capo a wicked nigga, I pray it don’t hit the media
They say, “Drake, you gettin’ harder, funny is getting easier”
Rappers are slick comedians, and they get disobedient
And they don’t stay in they lane, it’s like niggas hit the median
Boat say he the recipe, I must be the key ingredient
Capo might wick a man down with evil deviance
They gon’ have to talk to Ouija boards like heebie jeebian
Like the large was too big for you, you’ll need a medium
Just to send a message to somebody you loved previous
Empty clips, yeah

Manchester City hopeful for De Bruyne’s return
Kevin De Bruyne has been ruled out of football action since August following a hamstring injury. The Belgian star had to undergo surgery as a result of the injury. However, Manchester City are hopeful of seeing De Bruyne return to fitness before the start of the new year. Man City boss Pep Guardiola recently offered an update regarding his fitness earlier this week. The Spanish boss stated:
I spoke with him and he said he feels really good. He’s not training with us yet and I don’t know when he will. I would say he’s in the last phase before he trains with us again.”
