While in a conversation with the podcast host, Gomez shared that her crush on Ice Cube was solely based on the fact that she believed the artist would keep her protected. The Monte Carlo star went on to say to Karol G, “But can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on? Ice Cube.”

She further explained, “I had the biggest crush on him. I was, like, five. It’s so weird but I just thought he would protect me … I’m only saying it simply based on my childhood.”

Moreover, Gomez spoke about how she adores Eminem, who was a big part of her growing-up years. She said, “One of mine was Eminem only because I grew up listening to my dad, who was a DJ. He would remix all kinds of songs, and every time it was an Eminem song, I would just get so excited.”
