00:00Halle Berry is speaking out about Drake's new single cover art for the song, Slime You Out,
00:04which features this image of her getting slimed at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
00:10The rapper released the collaboration with SZA on Friday.
00:13It marks the first song from his upcoming album, For All the Dogs.
00:16Slime you out, slime you out, slime you out.
00:22Drake and SZA posted the single cover on their respective Instagram accounts on Wednesday, teasing their collab.
00:27After the single was released, Berry shared an Instagram post that read,
00:31In the comments section, she revealed that Drake didn't get her permission to use the photo.
00:38When one Instagram user wrote that Drake should have just asked her, Berry responded,
00:42He did have his people call my people, and I said no.
00:45I didn't like that image of slime all over my face in association with his song, and he chose to do it anyway.
00:51You see, that is disrespect. Not cool.
00:53She also wrote in response to a different comment about the single art,
00:57When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on.
01:01Another Instagram user commented on Berry's post to ask why she was mad.
01:05As the photo was owned by Getty, and Drake likely got the permission he needed from them and paid the fee to use it.
01:10Berry replied in part,
01:11Because he asked me and I said no, that's why.
01:14Why ask if you intend to do what you want to do?
