Fans say ‘even when he’s not playing he still assists’ as ‘K. De Bruyne’ is credited as writer for new Drake diss track

DRAKE fans were shocked after a K.De Bruyne was credited as a writer for one of the songs on Drake’s new album.

Wick Man, the 27th song on Drake’s new double album ‘For All The Dogs – Scary Hours Edition’ has three songwriters credited in the production of the track.

They are A.Graham (Drake), A.Mamam (New York Producer known as The Alchemist) and K. De Bruyne.

The mystery over whether Kevin De Bruyne was deepened after the footballer was credited as a writer by music website .

De Bruyne has been ruled out of football action since August with a hamstring injury .

But it looked as though he had been putting his time away from the field to good use by entering the studio alongside Drake.

The song itself has no reference to football within it and mostly focuses on Drake’s life and rap beefs.

In the track, Drake appears to re-open a long running feud with fellow American rapper Pusha T.

Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter were quick to joke about De Bruyne’s off-field contribution.

One account wrote: “Even when he’s not playing he still finds a way to assist someone.”

Another fan wrote: “A wonderful assist from KDB but this time to DRAKE.”

A third wrote: “He’s born to assist.”

De Bruyne has now confirmed that the artist credited on the song is NOT him after tweeting: “ needed an assist.”

He then added in a follow up tweet: “All jokes aside, it’s not me! Huge fan though!”

The artist featured is in fact Koen De Bruyne, a Belgian pianist who lived from 1946 until 1977.

Manchester City are hoping that De Bruyne can return to fitness before the new year with Pep Guardiola offering an update regarding his fitness this week.

Guardiola said: “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.”
