Selena Gomez has surprised fans with a revelation no one saw coming, she used to have a crush on none other than rap legend Ice Cube…
In a candid new interview, the 31-year-old singer, actress and Rare Beauty mogul opened up about her childhood celebrity crushes. While many expected the usual teen heartthrobs from boybands or Disney contemporaries, Selena stunned fans by admitting that one of her earliest celebrity crushes was the Straight Outta Compton star himself.
“I don’t know why… I just thought he was so cool,” Selena laughed during the interview. “There was just something about Ice Cube. I was like, ‘Yeah, I like him.’”
Known for his tough-guy persona and pioneering role in West Coast hip hop, Ice Cube may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of pop princess crushes, but fans are absolutely here for it.
Social media lit up with reactions to Selena’s unexpected confession. One fan posted, “Selena Gomez having a crush on Ice Cube is the plot twist of the year, and honestly, I respect it.” Another added, “She’s got taste. Cube has always had that presence.”
Ice Cube, 55, is yet to respond to the shoutout, but fans are already imagining a crossover. “Get them in a movie together!” one user suggested on X (formerly Twitter). “Selena and Cube as an unlikely buddy duo? Take my money.”
Gomez, who is currently filming the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building and recently dropped her latest single Love On, has always kept fans entertained with her blend of sincerity and humour in interviews. This moment was no different, offering a glimpse into her younger self and her more unexpected taste in men.
Whether this was a passing childhood phase or a lasting admiration, it’s clear that Selena’s unique mix of sweetness and edge has always been there, even in her celebrity crushes.
