Drake To Stop Making New Music for a "Little Bit" Due to Health Issues
“I’ve been having the craziest problems with my stomach for years. I need to get right,” he said on his SiriusXM show.
Drake, who just dropped his latest album, For All the Dogs, and is currently wrapping up his It’s All a Blur tour with 21 Savage, has announced that he plans to take a hiatus from recording new music. After putting out three album in just over one year, the artist took to his SiriusXM radio show, Table for One, to share the news, stating that he needs to prioritize his health in light of flaring stomach issues.
“[I’m] probably not going to make music for a little bit, I’mma be real with you. I need to focus on my health, first and foremost,” Drake said on the show.
He added, “I’ve been having the craziest problems with my stomach for years. I need to get right, I have a lot of other things I would love to focus on so I’m going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit. I don’t know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or something. Maybe a little bit longer.”
As he locks his studio entrance, Drake is reveling in the release of his much-anticipated eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. The record, which clocks in at roughly an hour and 30 minutes with 23 tracks, includes features from Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, Teezo Touchdown, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Sexxy Red and Lil Yachty, along with a special contribution from Drizzy’s son, Adonis.
