Canadian rapper Drake announced on Friday that he is taking a break from music to focus on recurring stomach issues, just hours after releasing his latest album.
“I probably won’t make music for a little bit, I’m gonna be honest,” he said on his SiriusXM radio show Table For One adding: “I need to focus on my health first and foremost… I need to get right.”
“I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach,” he explained.
The 36-year-old Grammy Award winner had just released his latest studio album “For All The Dogs.”
His five-year-old son, Adonis, made an appearance in a music video for a new single from the album titled ‘8AM in Charlotte.’
It remains uncertain whether this break will impact upcoming concert dates, including Friday and Saturday performances in Toronto, where eager fans have already been spotted queueing up.
Drake stated that he will fulfill his unspecified prior commitments.
“I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises,” he said.
Otherwise, he said, “I’m gonna lock the door in the studio for a little bit,” Drake added. “I don’t even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or so, maybe a little longer.”
