Drake is taking a break.

The Canadian rapper says today that he’s about to close the door to his studio for a year. The reason? Health. He’s having stomach issues.

Luckily, Drake’s new album, called “For All the Dogs,” hit number on the iTunes chart overnight after its release. So he’ll have nothing to worry about while these dogs are barking up a storm the next few months.

“I probably won’t make music for a little bit,” Drake said during an episode of his show “Table for One” on Sirius XM’s Sound 42, per Hot97. “I’m going to be real with you. I need to focus on my health, first and foremost, and I’ll talk about that soon enough. Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life.”

“I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. I’m just saying what it is,” the rapper continued. “So, I need to focus on my health, and I need to get [that] right, and I’m going to that.

“I have a lot of other things that I would love to focus on. So, I’ma lock the door in the studio for a little bit. I don’t even know what a little bit is,” he continued. “Maybe a year or so, maybe a little longer.”
