Halle Berry doesn’t seem too happy with Drake at the moment.
The Oscar winner, 57, apparently approached the 36-year-old rapper without asking her permission to use a photo of her covered in green “slime” at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards for the cover of his new single “Slime” You Out” featuring SZA .
On Friday, the actress shared a message on her Instagram that appeared to be directed at the Canadian singer.

“Sometimes you gotta be the bigger guy…even if you’re a woman!” the message read. Letting the post speak for itself, she added a hand emoticon with a finger pointing up as the caption.
With several fans speculating that the post was aimed at the “One Dance” singer, Berry confirmed that was the case when she responded to an Instagram user who asked her in the comments what she thought of the cover art for Drake’s newly announced single.
“I didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool. I thought better of him!” the Bruised the director-star wrote in response.

“Slime You Out” marks the second single from Drake’s upcoming album For all dogs and the first collaboration between a hip-hop artist (whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham) and an R&B singer (whose real name is Solán Imani Rowe).
In the five-minute song, Drake and SZA criticize the childish behavior of ex-lovers and the opposite sex, using Nickelodeon’s “slime” as a metaphor for the juvenile habits they’ve seen in past relationships.
“Slimin’ you out, I’m slimin’ you out, I’m slimin’ you out,” they each sing in chorus.
