Charlamagne Tha God has weighed in on the ongoing discussion surrounding Drake's next career moves following his high-profile battle with Kendrick Lamar.

Speaking on the *Brilliant Idiots* podcast, the *Breakfast Club* host shared his thoughts on what Drake should do next, suggesting that the Toronto rapper might benefit from taking a break.

"I think that Drake should go away for, like, a year. And let nostalgia bring him back. Or maybe six months, just take a break," Charlamagne told co-host Andrew Schulz.

Charlamagne's comments come amid a period of intense focus on Drake's career, particularly after his recent release of new music, including a collaboration with Lil Yachty that was leaked by Kai Cenat during a livestream, as well as his "100 GIGS" drop of new songs and BTS material.

Despite the buzz, Charlamagne believes that stepping away from the spotlight could reignite public interest in Drake when he eventually returns.

This isn't the first time Drake has hinted at taking a break.

During the early stages of the *For All The Dogs* era and the Kendrick Lamar battle, the rapper himself mentioned wanting to step back.

However, with his recent flurry of activity, it seems Drake is not planning to go anywhere just yet.

Fans are already speculating about his next project, spurred on by cryptic social media posts, but Charlamagne's suggestion adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about the rapper's future.

As discussions about Drake's career trajectory continue, opinions remain divided.

Some fans agree with Charlamagne, believing that a break could benefit the rapper, while others think that his current momentum should not be halted.

Whether Drake decides to take a hiatus or not, only time will tell how this chapter in his career will be remembered in the annals of rap history.
