During a discussion with singer Karol G, the ladies spoke about their G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) rappers, resulting in Gomez opening up her favorites.

“One of mine was Eminem only because I grew up listening to him,” she said of the “Stan” rapper. “My dad was a DJ so he would remix all kinds of songs, and every time it was an Eminem song, I would just get so excited.”

The beauty mogul and producer then opened up about her love for Ice Cube and how she had “the biggest crush on him” as a child.

“Can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on, Ice Cube?” she said. “I had the biggest crush on him when I was, like, 5.”

Gomez added, “It’s so weird, but I just thought he would protect me.”

“I’m only saying it simply based on my childhood,” she concluded.

Meanwhile, the “BICHOTA” musician also revealed that while her favorite childhood rapper was Eminem, 52, her G.O.A.T. rapper was now Nicki Minaj.

“The first rapper in my life that I was super obsessed with was Eminem, and then now, I think for me, Nicki Minaj,” she said. “For me, one of the best.”

Karol G and Nicki Minaj collaborated in 2019 with their song “Tusa.”
