In response to another fan's comment that the rapper should have asked first, the actress revealed, \"He did have his people call my people and I said NO I didn't like that image of slime all over my face in association with his song. And he chose to do it anyway! You see…that is the disrespect. Not cool!\"

While some argued that Drake may have obtained permission from Getty Images, which owns the photo, Berry clarified, \"Cuz he asked me and I said NO that's why. Why ask if you intend to do what you want to do! That was the f*** you to me. Not cool. You get it?\"

\"Slime You Out,\" featuring SZA, dropped on Sept. 15. The song is featured on Drake's upcoming eighth studio album, \"For All the Dogs,\" which is due out on Oct. 6.

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Drake and SZA for comment.
