Halle Berry is not pleased, folks. She’s got a bone to pick with Drake over him using her picture for his new single artwork, and she’s letting the world know it.
So here’s the deal: Drake, the 36-year-old rapper, dropped his fresh single “Slime You Out,” featuring SZA. All good so far, right? Well, the problem is the artwork for this song. It features a pic of Halle Berry from way back in 2012 when she was drenched in slime at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. Halle was not happy about that.
Over the weekend, Halle decided to air her grievances on Instagram. She posted a quote that read, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… even if you’re a woman!” Ouch, that’s already some pretty strong stuff.
But then, in the comments section, a fan had the guts to ask her what she thought about Drake using her slimy photo. She didn’t hold back and said, “Didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool. I thought better of him!” You can almost hear the disappointment in those words.
Later on, she spilled the beans about why she posted that quote in the first place, saying, “Hence my post today. When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on!” Halle’s not playing around, and she’s letting us all know it.
But wait, there’s more. Another follower chimed in, trying to be the voice of reason, saying, “While I do understand your side, that photo is owned by Getty Images. So I’m sure he got their permission. And paid the fee. Why you mad?” You’d think that might calm the storm, but nope, not with Halle.
She hit back with a fiery response, “Cuz he asked me and I said NO, that’s why. Why ask if you intend to do what you want to! That was the f*ck you to me. Not cool. You get it? ❤️” You’ve got to give it to Halle for standing her ground. She made it crystal clear that Drake didn’t get her blessing, and that’s what really stung.
So, there you have it, folks. Halle Berry ain’t happy about Drake using her slime-covered pic for his music, and she’s not holding back on her feelings. It’s a classic case of “ask for permission, not forgiveness,” and in this case, Drake didn’t get either from the queen herself.
