Drake Hints at Long-Anticipated “Certified Lover Boy” Release

Drake has been hinting at the release of his album Certified Lover Boy for a long time.

In an interview on Saturday, Drake hinted at a new date for the Certified Lover Boy release. Despite originally promising the album’s release in January of this year, the rapper made it clear that he plans on releasing the album before the end of this summer. When asked if he will be attending the rap battle between Murda Mookz and Reed Dollaz at the end of the summer, Drake confirmed his attendance. He added “My album will be out by then,” without alluding to any more details or specifics about the release. NuNu Nellz, one of the interview hosts seen sitting next to Drake, jokes “I got a feature on there.”

 “I’m looking forward to sharing [the album] with you all in 2021.”

Drake had originally promised the release of Certified Lover Boy in January 2021, announcing the album along with the release of “Laugh Now, Cry Later,” ft. Lil Durk. When January came, Drake stated he was channeling his energy into rehab and recovery from his knee surgery. In an Instagram story, he said that due to the surgery the release of the album would be postponed. In the interview, Drake did not give detail about the specific release date. Hopefully, the promise of it being out by the end of the summer holds true!
