Drake has stirred controversy yet again, though this time, it’s not for his long history of questionable betting habits. Last week, the rapper announced his latest single, “Slime You Out,” which marks his first collaboration with SZA and the first track to be lifted from his forthcoming album, For All the Dogs.

The cover art for the single is an image of Halle Berry getting slimed at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, and the actress had some choice words for Drake following his “Slime You Out” announcement. For a woman whose name has been mentioned in nearly 100 rap songs, it appears Halle Berry (or “hallelujah,” as Kendrick Lamar might quip) has had enough.

Drake and SZA announce “Slime You Out”

On Sept. 13, both Drake and SZA took to their respective Instagram accounts to announce their collaborative single “Slime You Out.” It is the first preview fans have gotten of For All the Dogs, Drake’s eighth studio album set for release on Oct. 6.

Neither artist confirmed the single’s release date and simply accompanied their posts with a series of emoticons. While a SZA and Drake collaboration is news in itself — the pair dated in 2019 and have referenced each other in their songs — it was the cover art for “Slime You Out” that caught the most attention.

The cover in question is an image of Berry amid a royal sliming at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, which she attended as one of the presenters for the evening alongside Glee’s Chris Colfer and Miranda Cosgrove of iCarly (how circa 2010s does that sound?).

Following Drake’s announcement, Berry shared an Instagram post with text that read: “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy … even if you’re a woman!.” When asked in the comments section whether the post was about the cover, the actress confirmed she was “disappoint[ed]” by Drake’s single art, writing that she had chosen to be “the bigger person and move on.”

Elsewhere in the comments, Berry revealed that Drake did not get her permission to use the image, saying that while she admires the musician, she “thought better of him” and described his using the image as “not cool.”

Another user pointed out that Getty Images owns the rights to the photograph and that Drake likely got permission to use it regardless of Berry’s wishes. To this point, Berry revealed that Drake had personally asked for her consent and went on to use the image despite her declining.

“He asked me and I said NO,” Berry wrote in the comments section. “Why ask if you intend to do what you want to do? That was the f*ck you to me.” While neither Drake nor SZA has responded to Berry’s gripes, the plot thickens with the same viscosity as bright green slime following the official release of “Slime You Out.”

Drake releases “Slime You Out”

On Sept. 15, “Slime You Out” appeared on streaming services, though Berry’s gooey green look was noticeably absent in the single art. Instead, “Slime You Out” was accompanied by the album cover of For All the Dogs, which is a scribbled picture of a dog hand drawn by Drake’s son, Adonis Graham.

In any case, the furor has led some to question exactly what “Slime You Out” means, which is where the ever-resourceful Urban Dictionary comes in handy. To be “slimed out,” according to the dictionary, is to be “to get crossed… after you did something foul or suspicious,” a term which — if certain rumors are to be believed — has Drake written all over it.

NFL MVP Odds: Tua Tagovailoa Is Now The Outright Leader Over Patrick Mahomes

NFL MVP Odds: Tua Tagovailoa Is Now The Outright Leader Over Patrick Mahomes – originally posted on Sportslens.com

For the second time in three weeks, the Miami Dolphins put on a historic offensive showing on Sunday. They scored the 3rd most points in NFL history against the Broncos, even forfeiting a chance at breaking the record of 73. It was a well-rounded effort that thrived in both the rushing and passing attacks, and it has quarterback Tua Tagovailoa all by himself when it comes to the favorite to win the NFL’s MVP award.

Tua Tagovailoa Is Now The Overall Favorite For NFL MVP

The award was Patrick Mahomes’ to lose. The Chiefs quarterback is the reigning MVP of the NFL, and he entered the season with the shortest odds to repeat (+600). He was the outright favorite, but trailing close behind were guys like Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. Mahomes and the Chiefs got out to a rough start in Week 1, as did the other MVP candidates.

But not Tagovailoa. His 466 yard, 3 touchdown performance vaulted him to the top of the leader board, where he took a share of the lead with Mahomes at +650 going into Week 2. Tua’s performance against the Patriots in the second game was solid enough to keep him near the top, but the top of the leaderboard was cluttered heading into Week 3.

The clutter is gone. Tagovailoa led the Dolphins to their historic 70 point day, completing 89% of his passes en route to 309 yards and 4 touchdown passes. He achieved those numbers in just three quarters of play, and the oddsmakers at the sports books have taken notice.

Big Test For Tagovailoa And Miami In Week 4

As of Monday morning, Tagovailoa was listed as the heavy favorite to win the NFL MVP award, coming in at +400, the shortest of any MVP odds so far this season. Mahomes was listed at +700 at the time of writing, though that number is subject to heavy change. The public will believe that Mahomes will eventually win the MVP award until it is firmly taken out of his grasp, and the more that they bet on him with longer odds, the more his number will come down.

Will it last? Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will face their biggest test of the young season this coming Sunday, as they travel to Buffalo to face the division rival Bills. They have had one of the top-2 defenses in the league through the first three games, and are familiar with Tua and the Dolphins, having played against them three times last year.

The Bills are currently 2.5 point favorites for Sunday’s game.

There’s some light at the end of the tunnel for the historic dual strike as the WGA and AMPTP reached a tentative agreement to end the writers' strike this past Sunday. That means certain variety shows like Saturday Night Live have a clearer path to returning. It didn’t take long for SNL’s return to become public either as it's being reported that the award-winning sketch comedy show plans on an October premiere date for Season 49.
