Drake has been teasing the album's release throughout the year. Back in January, he confirmed it would be dropping at some point in 2021.

“I was planning to release my album this month but between surgery and rehab my energy has been dedicated to recovery,” he said at the time on Instagram. “I’m blessed to be back on my feet feeling great and focused on the album, but CLB won’t dropping in January. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all in 2021.”

Elsewhere on Scary Hours 2, fans theorized that Drake hinted at an affair with Kim Kardashian. "Yeah, I probably should go link with Yeezy, I need me some Jesus / But soon as I started confessin' my sins, he wouldn't believe us," he raps on "Wants and Needs."
