Drake is prioritizing his health. 

On Friday, the Canadian rapper, 36, revealed that he is taking a break from music to focus on his health while speaking on his show Table For One on SiriusXM’s Sound 42.

Explaining how he’s been having the “craziest problems” with his stomach, the musician said he’s going to take a hiatus for “maybe a year.” 

“I probably won't make music for a little bit. I'm gonna be honest,” he said. “ I got some other things I need to do for some other people that I made promises to, but I probably won't make music for a little bit. I'm gonna be real with you. I need to focus on my health first and foremost and I’ll talk about that soon enough.”

“Nothing crazy but just I want people to be healthy in life and I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach,” he continued. “So I need to focus on my health and get right, and I’m going to do that.”

"I need to get right,” he added. “I have a lot of other things that, I would love to focus on. So I'm gonna lock the door in the studio for a little bit. I don't even know what a little bit is. Maybe, maybe a year or something, or maybe a little longer.”

Drake’s revelation came on the same day he dropped his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs,

The “Who Told You” artist also commented on his new record on his show. “How can I describe this album to you?” he said. “I'll keep it short and sweet. Please don't ask me what I feel if you can't handle the real. That's it, that's it. I apologize in advance. Maybe that was, that's probably the alternate album title too.”

Drake added that he hopes he has made songs that people can “enjoy.” 

In August, Drake released the cover art for his album and revealed that his 5-year-old son Adonis Graham had created it. 

“FOR ALL THE DOGS OCTOBER 6 Cover By Adonis,” he captioned the post.

Adonis’ illustration depicted a four-legged animal with two long ears that appeared to be a canine. The animal’s body, which was on a black ground, had been colored white and it also had red eyes.

Drake shares his son with Fench artist Sophie Brussaux.
