Drake Has Two Weeks Left to Drop Certified Lover Boy - Will It Be Delayed Again?

After months of rumors, teasing and more, Drake's Certified Lover Boy album has been hanging in release date limbo since it was announced last April, and was set to be released in summer of 2020. And with less than two weeks before January is over, and the last possible drop date expires, fans can't help but wonder if Drizzy will pump fake the CLB release yet again.

The last possible date Drake could release the album on a standard Friday release schedule. The date is in alignment with the suggested time frame producer Cardo, who co-produced "Laugh Now Cry Later," gave earlier this month via Twitter. Aside from the 6 God revealing in October of 2020 that Certified Lover Boy will be delivered at the top of 2021, there hasn't been any additional details. However, since Drake initially said the album would come last summer and it didn't, that doesn't necessarily mean the LP can't arrive after January, right? While it isn't known for sure what's causing the delays for Drake's sixth solo album, there are a few plausible factors that can possibly be considered such as the impact of COVID-19 or even the Toronto rapper undergoing knee surgery towards the end of last year. If, in fact, the coronavirus pandemic attributed to the postponement of CLB in any way, Drizzy isn't the only artist to face this sort of issue because the deadly virus has wreaked havoc on the entire music industry.

As previously mentioned, Drake's album was originally slated for release in the summer of 2020, but as September came to an end, the album never appeared on streaming platforms. Earlier this week, the "Laugh Now Cry Later" rapper was seen in the studio, presumably readying Certified Lover Boy for fans. But, there is no telling when Drake will be ready to unleash his new LP.
