"😳💚"
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 thealbum's cover image, as seen below.
