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.

Hunter Biden Asks Blunt Question About Trump's Unpresidential Behavior—And We're Nodding Hard

Hunter Biden had a question for the White House press corps over their in-the-moment reactions—or lack thereof—to the insults and slurs flung by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump at journalists, mostly women and especially Black women.

Biden appeared on The Jim Acosta Show alongside former CNN White House correspondent Acosta and contributing editor for Mediaite and former White House correspondent for AOL and The Daily Banter Tommy Christopher. The trio discussed the double standards surrounding Trump in both how he behaves and how the press approaches him and covers his words and actions.

Trump Ridiculed After Claiming He's Been President 'Three Times'—And Who Wants To Tell Him?

President Donald Trump had people rolling their eyes after he said in response to a reporter at the NATO summit that he'd been president "three times" and won "three elections."

Trump has been president twice and lost the 2020 general election to then-candidate Joe Biden. Since then, he has continued to push the baseless lie that the election was "stolen" from him. Trump's supporters eventually attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a failed bid to overturn the election results.

GOP Senator Dragged Over 'Blatantly Racist' Anti-China Campaign Ad Where She Smashes Fortune Cookies

Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn was called out after releasing a campaign ad about cracking down on China by dramatically crumbling fortune cookies, a move that prompted critics to point out that fortune cookies aren't a Chinese invention at all.

In the ad, Blackburn appears seated in what resembles a stereotypical Chinese restaurant, surrounded by takeout boxes and hanging lanterns. Looking directly into the camera, she asks, "How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here's a clue," before crushing several fortune cookies in her hands and letting the crumbs fall onto the table as a narrator begins to speak.
