Drake, a multi-Grammy-winning Canadian rapper and performer, has declared he will be taking a break from the music industry.

He stressed that he had been dealing with stomach troubles for years and that the hiatus, which would last for a year or more, would allow him to concentrate on his health.

"I probably won't make music for a little bit, I'm gonna be honest.

"I need to focus on my health, first and foremost... Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life, and I've been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach."

"I'm going to lock the door on the studio for a little bit. I don't even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or something. Maybe a little longer," Drake said.
