VIDEO: USMNT star Weston McKennie attends release of Moise Kean rap album – with Juventus midfielder admitting to recording his own songs

United States international McKennie is a close friend of Italian forward Kean from their time together at Juventus. He has offered his support to the 24-year-old striker following his first foray into the music business.

McKennie was present, alongside Kean’s Fiorentina colleagues Albert Gudmundsson and Robin Gosens, at a listening party in Milan for Kean’s production, ‘Chosen’. At that event, Kean performed a full version of the album and was joined on stage by a number of acts that he has collaborated with.

McKennie also fancies himself as a rapper, as does fellow countryman Tim Weah, and told DAZN in October 2023 of working with AC Milan winger Rafael Leao: “I have a song with him as well. Me and Moise went to Milan one day we were free to record a song.”

Weah added: “I write a lot when I am at home and I am not tired. I sit and write music. My best friend is a producer so we do little things together. I want to get into writing professionally for artists. I think it’s fun. We have so much time to ourselves to just sit in front of the TV and play video games.”

McKennie has returned to action at Juve after recovering from a minor injury, as they remain unbeaten in Serie A this season, while Kean has plundered 13 goals through 19 appearances for Fiorentina since completing a permanent move from Turin to Florence in the summer transfer window.
