Drake taking a break from music amid 'craziest' health struggles

Drake is taking a break from making music to focus on his health.

The 36-year-old rap star has revealed that he plans to step back from the music business for "maybe a year" as he's been having the "craziest problems" with his stomach.

Drake - who has just released his latest album, For All the Dogs - told SiriusXM's Sound 42: "I probably won't make music for a little bit.

"I'm gonna be honest. 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."

Drake revealed that he's determined to overcome his health problems before he returns to the music business.

The Hotline Bling hitmaker said: "I want people to be healthy in life and I've been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. So I need to focus on my health and get right, and I'm going to do that."

Drake - who is one of the world's best-selling artists - isn't sure when he'll return to the music scene.

The rapper admitted that he could actually be absent from the business for more than a year.

The chart-topping star shared: "I need to get right. 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."
