Halle Berry on Drake using her image for his new song promotion, 'Didn't get my permission'
Drake and Halle Berry in the picture
Halle Berry is not very thrilled with Drake and SZA's recent actions. Teasing their firstcollaboration song, Slime You Out, the Canadian rapper and the singer used an infamous photo of the Oscar-winning actor, and that too without her consent.
A day after Drake shared a photo, Halle briefly addressed the matter as she revealed that her picture was used without her consent. Taken at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, the picture shows Berry all drenched in green slime.
A day after Drake and SZA teased their first collaboration with the famous picture, Berry shared a simple post, reading: ''Sometimes You Have To Be The Bigger Guy..Even If You're a Woman.''
In the comment section, one person asked the actress about her thoughts on Drake using her picture to promote his new collaboration.
"@halleyberry, what are your thoughts of drake using that picture of you for his single?," wrote the Instagram user.
Halle Berry replied to the person saying, "[Drake] didn't get my permission. That's not cool I thought better of him!"
