Drake has been teasing Certified Lover Boy since last year when he initially confirmed the album would be out by January 2021. 

Back in March, Drake provided fans with an update on OVO sound radio.

"Certified Lover Boy is being cheffed," Drake explained, adding that he'll be locked into the studio until it's finished. "I don't have an exact date, but it's in the pot. It's coming soon."

The last project fans have heard from Drake was his fourth EP, Scary Hours 2, which dropped back in March. Drake's last full-length album, Scorpion, was released in June 2018.
