'Certified Lover Boy' and 'Donda' clash on September 3, fans say 'it's gonna be lit'

A week after Kanye confirmed the release of 'DONDA' on September 3, Drake announced the release of 'Certified Lover Boy' on the same date

Music lovers are elated beyond measure as the coming weekend is nothing short of a face-off between two highly coveted artists. A week after Kanye confirmed the release of 'DONDA' on September 3, Drake announced the release of 'Certified Lover Boy' on the same date. Fans had been anticipating this moment for months as Kanye and Drake are set to face-off in the battle of first-week sales.

To announce the arrival of 'CLB', Drake seemingly interrupted a SportsCenter broadcast on Friday, August 27 morning. The show's intro was briefly stopped and a strange video of a man holding a note appeared. "CLB September 3, " was written on the paper on the screen. Reportedly, 'CLB' was originally panned for January 2021, but after sustaining a knee injury, Drake pushed back the release date of the album.
