Ice Cube has been revealed as Selena Gomez’s surprise childhood crush.

Sitting down with Karol G for the latest episode of GOAT Talk, the singer and actress confessed that she used to have a crush on the NWA legend.

She said: “But can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on? Ice Cube.”

Explaining why, Gomez added: “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.”

Elsewhere in the chat, Gomez also revealed her favorite rapper of all time: “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.”

Gomez is not the only star who has recently divulged her secret crush as Offset revealed which pop superstar he had eyes for.

Sitting down with Complex, the former Migos rapper was asked by magician Anna DeGuzman to think of his celeb crush.

The magician then handed Offset a piece of paper which had Sabrina Carpenter’s name written on it.

Offset commented: “How you get this right? She just guessed this, that’s crazy.”

While Set appeared ignorant of any of Carpenter’s chart-topping hits, he did say: “I feel like, artistically, like she got it all together.”

Chloe Bailey also previously claimed that she had a crush on Kendrick Lamar.

Speaking on Instagram Live last year, the singer said: “Who has listened to Kendrick’s album? I have had it on repeat for the past four/five days since it’s been out. And listen, I could not just hop on the Kendrick train now. I don’t know if you all know this – about eight years ago, I had a whole Kendrick phase […] and I was convinced I was going to be with him.

“I loved him when I was younger so much from Section.80; even the mixtape before that that had ‘Alien Girl’ on it. I’ve been a diehard Kendrick fan from day one. So I haven’t just hopped on the bandwagon now, but I’m happy a lot of people are hopping on the bandwagon. But I’ve been a hardcore Kendrick fan – when he was K. Dot!”
