Berry expressed her disapproval by posting a message to Instagram Friday that read, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy … even if you’re a woman!”

The “Bruised” actress further addressed the situation with the “Nonstop” rapper, commenting, “When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!”
