Drake postpones new album, shares new single with SZA, and upsets Halle Berry

Drake has pushed back his upcoming album For All the Dogs to 6 October, as the project’s original release date clashed with his ongoing tour with 21 Savage.

“Okay my dilemma I am faced with is either cancel shows to finish the album or I complete the mission and drop the album before the last show,” he wrote in an Instagram story.

“I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to-date we will be spinning back for sure. For All the Dogs October 6th. It’s only right…”

The album was originally scheduled to drop on 22 September.

Drake’s last three LPs, Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind, and Her Loss all debuted at No.1

On Friday 15 September he released the song ‘Slime You Out’, featuring SZA. The track is the pair’s first collaboration.

The Canadian rapper teased the track on Instagram with a photo of actor Halle Berry getting slimed at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.

The actor posted a photo of a pink square with the words “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy … even if you’re a woman!” to Instagram.

A follower asked Berry what she thought about Drake using the photo. “Didn’t get my permission,” she responded. “That’s not cool I though better of him!”

Despite Berry saying that Drake did not get her blessing to use the picture, the rapper only used it in an Instagram post, and not as the official single art.
