Selena Gomez's Childhood Crush: Ice Cube and the Story Behind It
Selena Gomez Spills Tea on Her First Celebrity Crush and More!
Get ready for a juicy dose of celebrity gossip, folks! TheScholarlyNote.com has got the scoop on Selena Gomez's latest confessions. In a recent chat with Karol G on Complex's GOAT Talk, the 32-year-old Texas native opened up about her first celebrity crush at an alarmingly young age.
We're talking about a time when Gomez was just five years old! That's right, folks, she had a major crush on none other than Ice Cube. But why, you ask? Well, it wasn't because of his dope rhymes or sick beats (although we can see why she'd be into that too!). No, no – according to Gomez, it was because she thought he would protect her!
Karol G was absolutely stunned by the revelation, exclaiming, "My God! He's amazing!" And honestly, who wouldn't think that about Ice Cube? The OG rapper has been a household name for decades, and his tough-guy persona only adds to his appeal.
But that wasn't the only surprise Gomez had in store. When asked about her favorite rappers growing up, she revealed that Eminem was one of them – mainly because her dad would remix all sorts of songs, including Eminem's tracks, when he was a DJ. However, it seems her young mind was already primed for hip-hop greatness!
Now, let's switch gears and talk about Gomez's love life. After years of on-again, off-again romance with Justin Bieber, the two seemingly put their drama to rest in 2022 when they posed together for a photo. However, it looks like that truce was short-lived – Gomez unfollowed Hailey Bieber (yes, that's what we'll call her from now on) after reports surfaced of the two exes splitting up.
And if you thought that was drama enough, get this: sources close to the situation claim that Gomez and Hailey had a temporary truce following their infamous feud. Apparently, they started following each other on Instagram in 2023, but it seems those days are over – Hailey even unfollowed Gomez after the split.
But don't worry, folks; Gomez has moved on! She's engaged to record producer Benny Blanco, and sources close to the couple say a wedding date is still up in the air (but fingers crossed for a summer soiree!).
On a slightly more serious note, Gomez has been making headlines lately for her health concerns. Earlier this month, fans expressed worry for her well-being when she appeared to be using a vape pen in a video. Now, we know that Gomez was diagnosed with lupus back in 2017 and underwent a kidney transplant the same year – so it's no secret that she's been through some tough times.
However, vaping is a whole different story. TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Gomez could be putting her kidneys or lungs at risk by using e-cigarettes or vape pens, which typically contain nicotine and other chemicals.
We're not ones to pry (okay, we totally are), but when will Gomez learn the risks of vaping? It's not just about looking cool in front of your 'gram followers – it's about taking care of yourself!
So there you have it, folks! Selena Gomez spills all the tea on her first celebrity crush and more. Stay tuned for more juicy gossip from TheScholarlyNote.com – we've got our eyes (and ears) peeled for the latest celebrity scoops!
