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.”
