Days before the official release of Drake's new album, Nothing Was The Same, the rapper had to postpone the start date of his concert. 

The "Would You Like a Tour," which also features artists Miguel and Future was scheduled to kick off on Sept. 25 in Portland, but will now start Oct. 18 in Pittsburgh. In a press release sent Friday, the Canadian rapper cited  "an intense rehearsal schedule and technical production requirements that will be part of the show" as his reason for the setback. 

Drake is in the bulk of promotions for his third album, which leaked online last week. Last Thursday, he stopped in Los Angeles and appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," where he addressed the many women who he has dated.
