Little Simz has pushed back the release of her upcoming album, Lotus.
The British rapper cited “shooting a movie” as the reason for the delay.
Originally due to be released on 9 May, the album will now come out on 6 June.
Simz, real name Simbiatu Abisola Abiola Ajikawo, shared the news of the delay on Instagram.
“Hey guys, I’m having to push my album back due to scheduling of shooting a movie that just came in.”
She added: “Not ideal for me or you I know, trust me I’ve tried many ways around it but just means I can’t do the film otherwise. If there was ever a time I ask for your grace and patience it is now.
“I’m sorry maynnnnn, I proper am. But only a few more extra weeks then yours.”
As an actor, Simz has previously appeared in Netflix’s revival of Top Boy as Shelley, and Meleka in the TV series Youngers.
