Popular American actress and singer, Selena Gomez, has made a surprising revelation about her childhood crush during a recent appearance on GOAT Talk with Karol G for Complex.
The 32-year-old star confessed that rapper Ice Cube was her first crush, a revelation that has caught many fans off guard given the unexpected nature of her admission.
Unexpected Childhood Admiration
During the interview, Gomez explained that her feelings for the N.W.A. rapper began when she was just five years old. "Can I tell you my first crush? I had the biggest crush on Ice Cube when I was like five," she revealed.
What makes this confession particularly interesting is her reasoning behind the crush. "It is so weird, I just thought he would protect me. But I am only saying it based on my childhood," Gomez elaborated, suggesting that even at a young age, she was drawn to Ice Cube's strong persona.
This revelation comes amid Gomez's current relationship with music producer Benny Blanco, whom she has been dating publicly since late 2023. The couple has been open about their relationship on social media, with Gomez previously stating that she's "never been loved this way" before.
The GOAT Talk interview, which pairs celebrities to discuss various topics including their personal "Greatest Of All Time" picks, has become known for revealing unexpected insights into stars' lives.
Ice Cube, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson, rose to fame in the late 1980s as a member of the influential rap group N.W.A before launching a successful solo career and eventually becoming a respected actor and filmmaker.
Neither Ice Cube nor his representatives have commented on Gomez's revelation at the time of reporting.
