Drake announced he would be taking a break from music for “maybe a year or something” due to stomach issues he’s suffered from for years.

During Friday’s episode of his radio show, Table for one, on SiriusXM’s Sound 42, the Canadian rapper said he had to deal with his health issues.

“It’s nothing crazy, but you know, I want people to be healthy in life,” he said. “I’ve had the craziest stomach issues in years and I’m not exaggerating.”

“Plus, I have to do things for other people that I’ve made promises to, so I’m probably not going to make music for a while, I’m going to be real with you,” the artist said.

The Grammy winner said he will probably take a break from music for a year.

“I need to be well, I have a lot of other things I would like to focus on,” he said. “So I’m going to close the studio door for a while, I don’t even know what that is. Maybe a year or something, maybe a little longer.”

A representative for Drake declined to comment further on the musician’s announcement.

The artist announced his break with music just hours before the worldwide release of his album. For all dogs.

For all dogs It is her eighth studio album and features 23 songs with collaborations from 21 Savage, SZA, J. Cole, Bad Bunny and Chief Keef, among others.

Drake released one of the songs from the album, 8 a.m. in Charlotte, before the release of the full album. In the official video of the song appears his son, Adonis Graham, who designed the cover of the album: a goat, which he calls Daddy Goat.
