Drake's fans might be rejoicing as he just released a new single and a brand new album is coming up in a few weeks, but he recently got entangled in an issue involving actress Halle Berry.
According to Page Six, it all started last week when the actress called out the rapper after he used her image of getting slimed at the Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards to promote her new track "Slime You Out" featuring SZA.
However, she was not happy with it as she took to her official Instagram account to share a quote, "sometimes you have to be the bigger guy... even if you're a woman!"
Halle Berry says Drake reached out to ask her if he could use the photo of her covered in slime for his new single, and still used it despite her saying no:

One fan commented and asked her thoughts about Drake's move and she revealed that the rapper didn't get her permission, adding, "That's not cool. I thought better of him."
She didn't stop there as she further explained, "When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!"

However, Berry explained that Drake indeed reached out to her and asked permission, but she declined it.

Drake NEW Album 'For All the Dogs' Release Date Changed
Drakes new album "For All The Dogs" was initially scheduled to drop in September 22, 2023, but he decided to push it back for a few weeks because he's currently on tour with 21 Savage.
According to Pitchfork, the "Take Care" hitmaker announced in his Instagram stories that he was facing a dilemma at the time because he only had two choices, either to cancel the remainder of his tour or change the release date of his new album. He chose the latter.
"I owe you all these memories we are building and anywhere we have missed to-date we will be spinning back for sure. For All the Dogs October 6th. It's only right..." he wrote.
