Rick Ross pushes back album release
Rick Ross has postponed the release of his new album as he recovers from two seizures which landed him in hospital last month (Oct11).
God Forgives, I Don't was due to hit shelves on 13 December (11) but it has been pushed back to early next year (12) following the rapper's health crisis on 14 October (11).
Rick Ross has assured fans he is feeling much better now but
executives at his record label want to give the heavyweight hip-hop
star plenty of time to recover.
Island Def Jam marketing boss Chris Atlas tells Billboard, "I think
we're all aware of his recent health issue, and based on some of
the minor setbacks with that, we weren't able to confirm certain
opportunities, because he physically wasn't able to deal with
certain things at the time.
"We want this to be his biggest album - we know it's going to be
his biggest album - so we did not want to pressure him into
releasing an album based on the sake of a date."
