In the first (minor) disappointment of the Biden era, Drake’s long-awaited sixth studio album Certified Lover has been delayed. Rapper “Toosie Slide” announced the news on Wednesday, January 19, through his Instagram story. “I planned to release my album this month, but between surgery and rehabilitation my energy was dedicated to recovery,” wrote Drake. Those familiar with @champagnepapi’s comings and goings know that Drake had knee surgery in October, which many believe was caused by an ACL tear. “I was blessed to be on my feet, feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB it will not fall in January. ”Drake released a highly athletic music video for the first single from Certified Lover, “Laugh Now Cry Later” in August, but unfortunately the rest of the album will have to wait until sometime in 2021. Looking back, maybe playing one-on-one with Kevin Durant and being approached by Marshawn Lynch had something to do with that his knee? We may never know for sure, but we know that copying Rihanna’s album release strategy won’t make her answer to you, Aubrey.
