Drake is pressing the brakes on his upcoming album.
Fans of the 34-year-old rapper will have to wait a bit longer for Certified Lover Boy to drop. The “Laugh Now Cry Later” crooner took to social media to give an update on his life, while also sharing why he’s holding off on releasing new music.
“I was planning to release my album this month, but between surgery and rehab, my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” Drake began his Instagram Story on Wednesday, Jan. 20. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet, feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January.”
While the “Take Care” rapper didn’t share any specific details about his injury, he previously posted a photo on his Instagram Story that showed his knee wrapped in a cast.
At the time, he didn’t disclose how he sustained the injury. However, earlier this month, Drake appeared to be in better shape after he uploaded a behind-the-scenes shot of his fitness routine
Certified Lover Boy will mark Drake’s sixth studio album. While not much is known about the vision for his new project, Drake originally planned to drop CLB in 2020. When announcing the Dark Lane Demo Tapes last April, the Canadian star let it slip that he was going to come out with a new album.
Only time will tell when he officially releases his highly anticipated Certified Lover Boy album. But in the meantime, relive Drake’s record-breaking career here.
