Halle Berry is the cover artwork for Drake's new single ("Slime You Out") with SZA, but the Oscar winning actress isn't happy at all. She says that the rapper did not ask her consent or even inform her that he planned to use the image. The photo depicts Berry getting slimed at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (the picture is available on Getty Images, and can therefore be licensed by anybody for a fee).
On Friday (Sept 15), Berry, alluded to Drake as she shared an image to Instagram reading: “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… even if you’re a woman!”
In the comment section, one follower asked Berry: “What are your thoughts of Drake using that picture of you for his single?” In response, she wrote, “Didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool, I thought better of him!” In a second comment, Berry added: “Hence my post today. When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on!”
