Recently, Keke Palmer revealed the advice Ice Cube gave her when she was young, and she took those words to heart. Keke said, “I was on the set of The Long Shots with Ice Cube. He was very cool, very chill. He didn’t say too much – a man of few words. But very nice and one day they were like, ‘Ice Cube wants to speak to you,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay…’ So they call me into a room and he’s like, way far distant from me and it’s some bodyguards there. And I’m [thinking], ‘What we about to talk about?’ You know? And he’s like, ‘I just want to tell you, Keke. You’re a beautiful young lady, and I see how kind you are and how nice you are to everybody on the set.’”

She added, “But I want you to know you’re growing into a young woman, and a lot of times the way that people see you – the way that these men see you on set – it’s not the way you see yourself. So protect yourself, be careful and don’t let them take advantage of you. Know who you are and know what you have, so people can’t use it against you.”

She continued, “And I didn’t understand it because I was like 14 at the time, and I said ‘Okay,’ and I walked out. But that stuck with me. And it was so important for him to say to me. He’s a father; he’s someone who has seen a lot in this industry especially with young entertainers. I always remember that, and I was always so grateful to him for that. I haven’t seen him since but I would love to tell him that really stuck with me all these years and thank you for reminding me.”
