Social media erupted with admiration for De Bruyne's supposed musical talents, prompting questions about his diverse abilities as a treble-winning player.

Taking to his Instagram account, the Manchester City star initially responded with a playful comment, sharing a photo of himself and Drake accompanied by the caption, "needed an assist."

However, De Bruyne later debunked the rumors in a second post, as reported by the BBC, clarifying, "All jokes aside, it's not me! Huge fan though!"

During the previous season, the Belgian midfielder played a crucial role in Manchester City's treble-winning campaign, establishing himself as their standout performer.
