Halle Berry Is Not a Fan of Drake Using Her Slime Photo as Single Art

Halle Berry isn’t feeling a picture of her being slimed during a Nickelodeon event is the cover art for Drake and SZA’s new single “Slime You Out.”

After the song’s release, Halle posted an image on Instagram that reads, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy…even if you’re a woman!”

A fan questioned the statement, to which she responded, “didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool I thought better of him!” In a separate comment, she wrote, “When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!”

Drake has not responded to Halle Berry’s criticism.

Drake’s “Slime You Out” Cover Art Results In Negative Review From Halle Berry

Drake’s music isn’t for everyone, but those who support the father of one go incredibly hard for him, even in times of trouble. He’s currently travelling across North America on his It’s All a Blur, while also putting the finishing touches on his For All The Dogs album. The surprise project was first announced several months ago, and while it seemed as though it would be arriving shortly after the news broke, Champagne Papi has been taking his time perfecting his work. So far we’ve heard just one single, “Slime You Out” featuring SZA. However, that’s already gotten a notably negative review from Catwoman actress Halle Berry.

The track hit streamers at noon on Friday (September 15), and many Twitter users have already admitted to being in their feelings over it. “Slime You Out” finds the former lovers singing to each other about their failures in romance, slipping in a few toxic bars just for good measure. Rather than posing together for the cover art, Drake went with a throwback photo of Berry full of slime at the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards, perfectly matching his single’s title.

Not long after the Scorpion rapper shared his latest release, Berry’s Instagram lit up with a message reading, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… Even if you’re a woman.” When a fan dropped by the comments to ask how the mother of one feels about Drake’s image selection, she made followers aware that she doesn’t approve. “Didn’t get my permission, that’s not cool. I thought better of him,” the starlet revealed. “Hence my post today,” she continued. “When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on!”

Now that the world has gotten a taste of what Drizzy is cooking up on For All The Dogs, they’re hungrier than ever to hear the finished project. However, the 36-year-old confirmed on Instagram this weekend that he’s dealing with some delays, and is anticipating on dropping his album in early October. Read what Drake had to say about the situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Drake Used A Picture Of Halle Berry For ‘Slime You Out’ And She Said It Was ‘Not Cool’ Without Permission

Just a few hours after Drake dropped his “Slime You Out” collaboration with SZA, actress Halle Berry has some thoughts. Specifically, she took to social media after finding out the Canadian rapper used her photo to promote the track without permission.

The photo is of Berry covered in slime, which actually happened at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Her Instagram post was a simple photo that read: “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… Even if you’re a woman!”

Berry then replied to a fan who flat out asked her what she thought about it — and she did not hold back. “Didn’t get my permission,” she said. “That’s not cool I thought better of him!”

“Hence my post today,” Berry added with a second comment. “When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on.”

After the news broke, fans on social media pointed out that it’s not even used as the actual single cover, but Drake’s For All The Dogs album art is. Still, others get where she’s coming from. “The wild part is that Halle Berry probably would’ve been cool with Drake using her photo if he would’ve just asked,” wrote one user.

Check out Halle Berry’s comments about being used for Drake’s “Slime You Out” below.

Drake & SZA’s “Slime You Out” Has Twitter All The Way In Their Feelings

From what we can tell, we may be coming up on one of the best R&B seasons in recent memory. With fall coming up around the corner, heavyweights within the soulful genre have been previewing their incredible work. Diddy proved that he’s still a force to be reckoned with on, The Love Album: Off the Grid. Muni Long’s latest single also reminds us how magical her voice is. Elsewhere, two other superstars skipped out on the tradition of sharing their new music at midnight, instead opting to drop off “Slime You Out” at noon on Friday (September 15).

Drake and SZA are responsible for the emotional new song. It begins with some impressive vocals from the 36-year-old after he calls out the fairer sex for being too dependent on men. “You b**ches really get carried away / Makin’ mistakes then you beg me to stay,” he sings. “I met the ni**a you thought could replace / How were there even comparisons made?” Drizzy continues, bragging about his ex’s inability to find someone like him after their split.

Drake and SZA’s First Collab is Here

In true Scorpio fashion, the TDE songbird’s verse is equally as cold. “How you ni**as get so carried away?” she asks. “Trippin’ when that d**k gets barely third place.” As reactions to the lengthy single from Drake and SZA continue to pour in, it appears that listeners are already deep in their feelings.

Countless GIFs and reaction videos of grown men sobbing are being used to capture how hip-hop heads feel about “Slime You Out.” It’s an impressive first joint effort from the 6ix God and his former lover, though SZA previously revealed that she hoped to have both Drake and Frank Ocean on her record-breaking “SOS” album in 2022.

Drake And SZA Come Full Circle On Their New ‘For All The Dogs’ Collab, ‘Slime You Out’

Once lovers, now musical collaborators: At midnight tonight (September 15), Drake and SZA have released a new collaborative single, “Slime You Out.”

Drake first hinted that he and SZA dated on his 21 Savage collab “Mr. Right Now” back in 2020. Last year, upon the release of her sophomore album, SOS, SZA confirmed they dated, but they remain on good terms.

But in the past few weeks, several fans have taken to TikTok to share theories suggestion that Drake and SZA have been hiding secret messages to each other in their songs over the course of their entire music careers.

On “Slime You Out” Drake steps back into his R&B bag, as he croons over what sounds like a slowed-down Jersey Club beat.

Drake seems to be reminding a woman about how he’s spoiled her, singing, “Sent wires on wires on wires, like Idris /
Lucky that I don’t take back what is given.”

SZA responds, accusing Drake of not coming through on his promises, singing, “Fightin’ out here, like you d*ckin’ me out / And I ain’t even comin’ over now / And you ain’t ’bout the sh*t you rappin’ about.”

The song arrives ahead of Drake’s ninth studio album, For All The Dogs.

While the romantic tension, whether real or feigned, is evident on the track, their musical chemistry is undeniable.

You can listen to “Slime You Out” above.

For All The Dogs is out 9/22 via Republic Records and OVO. Find more information here.
