Jay-Z & Drake have competition! USMNT star Weston McKennie reveals he recorded a song with AC Milan forward Rafael Leao & Juventus team-mate Moise Kean

The United States international is heavily into his music, with it important to have a passion off the pitch, and has lifted the lid on putting a track on tape. The likes of Jay-Z and Drake may not have too much to worry about just yet, but McKennie is in the process of honing his craft.

The Juve midfielder has already experienced life in the production studio, with the 25-year-old eager to find a hobby that fills time outside of his training and playing commitments. Music offers him a creative outlet away of football, with the American teaming up with fellow professionals in Serie A.

McKennie has told DAZN after it was pointed out that Milan star Leao is also into his music: “I have a song with him as well. Me and Moise went to Milan one day we were free to record a song.”

Fellow USMNT star and current Juve team-mate Tim 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 and Weah have been catching the eye in Italy this season, with it reported that the former may be in line for a new contract at Juventus while the latter is in the process of learning a new position – with Massimiliano Allegri taking to using him on the right of defence and midfield.
