Drake fans are going to have to wait a bit longer for Certified Lover Boy.

The "Laugh Now, Cry Later" rapper, 34, announced on Wednesday that he is delaying the release of his sixth studio album for a second time.

"I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery," he wrote on his Instagram Stories. The rapper revealed in Oct. 2020 that he suffered a knee injury.

Drake continued, "I'm blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won't be dropping in January."

"I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021," he concluded without a clear date for the release.
