Dancehall artist Aidonia says he will be taking a break from music to focus on his growing family.

The deejay is expecting his second child with wife, Kimberly Megan. The couple announced that they were expecting earlier this year.

"I will be taking a break from recording music over the next couple of months. I just want to give the people something they can vibe to because the birth of my son is approaching, and I am going to take some time to focus on that and my family," Aidonia said in a release.

He issued the statement following the release of his ‘Occupied Mind’ project on December 1.

"This is not an album; the official album ah forward next year. This is just a project, not a mixtape, more like a compilation of some songs we recorded this year. You know what we were going through, so we just occupied our minds with music. It's basically that; we are just releasing some songs," Aidonia said.

The 23-track project is the first body of work released by Aidonia following the passing of his late son Khalif Lawrence.

Khalif, the nine-year-old son of the deejay and his wife, died on December 3, 2022, following a three-year battle with cancer. The deejay had also taken breaks from music during the time that his son was sick and after his death.

In September, the couple held their baby shower, where they revealed they were expecting a baby boy.
