Drake just used a photo of Halle Berry getting slimed at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards to promote his new single with SZA, "Slime You Out," and the Oscar winner publicly called him out for it.

The rapper took to Instagram last week, posting the photo of Berry as a nod to the release, with the caption:

"😳💚"

Clearly, Berry was none too pleased with Drake's use of her image, and used her own Instagram to let the world know.

She shared a post containing the text:

“Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… Even if you’re a woman!”

Fans in the comments wondered what the message was regarding, and Berry responded to several—confirming Drake's choice was "not cool" with her.

One user asked the actor her thoughts on Drake using her image, and Berry replied:

"Didn't get my permission. That's not cool."
"I thought better of him!"

The actor added:

"Hence my post today."
"When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on."

Another person commented that Berry shouldn't be upset because the photo is owned by Getty Images, but the actor claimed she explicitly told Drake "no" when he approached her about it.

"Cuz he asked me and I said No that's why."
"Why ask if you intend to do what you want to do! That was the f*ck you to me."
"Not cool You get it? ❤️"

A couple even referenced Drake's mention of Berry's name in his and Migos' song "Versace (Remix)" in which the rapper says:

"I'm tryna give Halle Berry a baby and no one can stop me."

While a few commenters thought Berry should be flattered by the photo use, most fans had her back.

While the image still appears on Drake's Instagram, the art for the single has noticeably been replaced on streaming services with the album's cover image, as seen below.

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
