Fiorentina striker Moise Kean has revealed that he is recording a record with the AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, who is his close friend off the pitch.
Leao is obviously best known for his exploits on the field as an AC Milan player, but away from the pitch he is building on his rap career under the pseudonym ‘Way45’. His uncle was a DJ and his father did some singing, so he grew up surrounded by music.
Kean spoke about the bond that he has with Leao during today’s edition of Sportweek, the magazine that is part of La Gazzetta dello Sport, and his comments were relayed by Radio Rossonera.
“I like to be described as a ‘trap boy’. Trap means trap, it’s a style of rap music that’s trendy, it’s a particular music. If you listen to a trap song, you get caught in the beat and that beat makes you stay trapped,” he said.
“Rafa Leao is a friend, a golden boy. I met him many years ago playing against him in the national team and since then we have maintained a very close bond. The connection I have with him and McKennie is like no other in football.
“Leao and I are working on a record together. Who understands more about music? Both of us. And fashion? Maybe me (laughs). My passion for music was born in Asti, during games with friends.
“Some were playing, others stayed aside to listen or do freestyle. Sometimes I would break away from the game and go with them.”
In terms of on-field matters, it seems that Leao has a battle on his hands for a starting spot against Napoli. Noah Okafor has impressed in recent outings and is firmly knocking on the door, but Leao has performed well in the past against the Neapolitans.
LMAO!!! NO wonder Leao is off form. He’s busy brainstorming the lyrics to their next track… duh. As soon as that’s done, Leao will be back to peak form.
What a loser! He is doing this because it is Milan, and our mentality and values are gone!
Try this crap at Man City or Madrid, and you will be on the bench for their third division! He is an average player; we need to sell him next summer!
It feels like I’m watching and episode of Ted Lasso.
