Halle Berry isn't too happy with Drake.
An image of the Oscar-winning actress getting slimed at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards was used by the rapper as promotion for his first collaboration with SZA, "Slime You Out."
Both Drake (born Aubrey Drake Graham) and SZA (Solána Imani Rowe) posted the photo of Berry drenched in green slime on Wednesday to tease their duet, which came out Friday.
Berry seemingly reacted to the artwork choice on Instagram Friday, sharing a post with the words, "Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy … even if you’re a woman!"
One fan asked in the comments how she felt about the "Search & Rescue" rapper using her photo, to which she replied, "Didn't get my permission. That’s not cool. I thought better of him!"
Berry added: "Hence my post today. When people you admire disappoint you, you have to be the bigger person and move on!"
Another fan commented, "It’s the principle people. You get it ... you get it ... you don’t ... ohhh well … it’s the principle!"
"Exactly!! It's about principles and integrity," Berry responded. "So happy many of you get that."

Drake and SZA did not use the photo of Berry as the single's official artwork on streaming platforms, but rather the cover for the rapper's upcoming album "For All the Dogs." The cover was drawn by Drake's son, Adonis Graham, he revealed on Instagram last month.
On the five minute-plus single, Drake and SZA go back and forth about grievances regarding an ex.
They use Nickelodeon's "slime" as a symbol of childish behavior in relationships. "Slimin' you out, I'm slimin' you out, I'm slimin' you out," they sing in the chorus.
