(CNN) — Just after releasing a new album, Drake announced he plans to step away from the spotlight for an extended period of time to focus on his health.
The artist was a guest on the “Table for One” on SiriusXM’s Sound 42 Friday morning, where he said “I probably won’t make music for a little bit.”
“I need to focus on my health, first and foremost. … Nothing crazy, but just, like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life,” Drake explained.
He added that the issues were related to his stomach.
“I need to focus on my health, and I need to get right, and I’m going to do that,” Drake said. “So, I’m a lock the door in the studio for a little bit. I don’t even know what a little bit is, maybe a year.”
The rapper also released the video for his new song “8 AM in Charlotte,” off his new album “For All the Dogs.” His 5-year-old son Adonis opens the video by explaining a piece of artwork he drew.
“All right. Adonis, tell me about your beautiful piece of artwork that you sold me,” Drake tells him at the start of the video.
