In a surprising announcement, Drake said that he is stepping away from music for the time being to focus on his health.

The popular Canadian rapper made the revelation hours after releasing his latest album, saying that he has been dealing with recurring stomach problems that have been affecting his ability to perform and create music.

Drake's fans responded with a mix of concern and support, as many have been enjoying his recent work and look forward to his future releases.

“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.
