A fierce controversy has ignited in the world of entertainment as acclaimed actress Halle Berry finds herself at the center of an image usage dispute involving none other than rap sensation Drake. The turmoil began when Drake, on September 15, dropped his latest single, “Slime You Out“, featuring SZA, along with promotional artwork that prominently featured an iconic image of Berry being drenched in green slime at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.

Berry, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and an Academy Award winner, wasted no time in expressing her dismay over the unauthorized use of her image. Taking to her Instagram account, she shared a post bearing the message, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy…even if you’re a woman!”Berry hinted at Drake without naming him, causing a significant reaction within her fan community”.

One of her followers directly inquired about her stance on the situation, prompting Berry to respond candidly, “Didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool, I thought better of him“!”While Berry chose not to explicitly mention Drake, the implications were crystal clear, leading to a surge of reactions from her loyal supporters”.

Remarkably, despite the uproar surrounding the situation, Drake’s team opted for silence when approached for comment by Billboard on September 17, leaving fans and the entertainment industry at large intrigued and eager for resolution.

The controversy deepened as fans speculated on the meaning behind Drake’s song title, “Slime You Out“. Berry herself engaged in the conversation, questioning the significance of the phrase and adding an air of mystery to the ongoing debate.

Addressing speculations that Drake might have legally obtained the image through Getty Images, Berry set the record straight by revealing that Drake had indeed sought her permission, only to be denied. She regarded his use of the image without consent as a sign of disrespect, fueling the growing controversy.

As of now, the contentious image remains prominently displayed on Drake’s Instagram page and has also been shared on SZA’s account.

This incident occurs in the lead-up to the release of Drake’s eagerly awaited eighth solo studio album, “For All the Dogs“, scheduled to drop on October 6, via OVO Sound and Republic Records. This album marks a significant milestone in Drake’s solo career and follows the triumph of his 2022 releases, “Honestly, Nevermind“, and the collaborative LP with 21 Savage, “Her Loss”, both of which soared to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Remarkably, Drake’s admiration for Halle Berry has been a long-standing affair, with both publicly expressing their mutual respect over the years. However, the current controversy surrounding the unauthorized use of her image in his promotional material has thrust issues of consent and artistic integrity into the spotlight within the entertainment industry, leaving fans and industry insiders pondering the implications of this dispute.
