Written by SOURCE on January 21, 2021
Fans will have to wait a little longer for Drake‘s sixth studio album.
On Wednesday night, the OVO rapper took to Instagram to announce he has delayed the release of Certified Lover Boy. Drake confirmed he initially planned to drop the project sometime in January, but ultimately decided to push it back as focused on his health recovery.
“I was planning to release my album this month, but between surgery and rehab, my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” he wrote. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet, feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t be dropping in January. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021.”
Though Drake hasn’t shared details about his injury and subsequent surgery, he did post an Instagram photo that showed one of his legs in a brace. Some speculated that the rapper had undergone knee surgery to fix his ACL.
Certified Lover Boy will mark Drake’s first full-length release since 2020’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes.
