Although he is still extremely loved by the audience, Drake plans to pause his activities for a while to focus on his health. “I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach. That’s all I can say now. So I need to focus on my health and get it right,” Drake shared shared in the Table for One program.
Thus, For All the Dogs will most likely be the male rapper’s last album in the next few years.
