Ice Cube has responded to Selena Gomez's revelation that she had a childhood crush on him.

After Selena recently said that she had "the biggest crush" on Ice Cube when she was five years old, the rapper responded in a new interview on the 3’s and Ones podcast.

"A lot of ‘em like me, homie," said the Ride Along star, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson.

"What? What's up? I heard this years ago. Look, I had my crushes too growing up," he added.

Sharing one of his crushes, he named Vanity from Prince's Vanity 6 group, but added that he had "about four" crushes.

The Friday star’s comments came after the Single Soon hitmaker named her crushes in a conversation with Karol G on Complex’s GOAT Talk podcast.

While listing G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) rappers, Selena said, “One of mine was Eminem only because I grew up listening to him.”

"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," she recalled.

"Can I tell you my first one that I had a crush on, Ice Cube?" continued the Only Murders in the Building star. "I had the biggest crush on him when I was, like, 5."

Explaining her thinking at the time, she added, "It’s so weird, but I just thought he would protect me."

"I’m only saying it simply based on my childhood," Selena concluded.
