Keke Palmer has shared the long-lasting advice she got from Ice Cube as a teenager while on set with the iconic hip-hop innovator.The former child star was a guest on sports commentator personality Shannon Sharpe’s infamous Club Shay Shay podcast to promote her upcoming second memoir, Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling Your Narrative.During the interview, she recalled the time when Cube gave her some poignant advice on set of the 2008 Fred Durst-directed film The Longshots which “stuck with her” throughout her career.“He was very cool, very chill,” she began. “He didn’t say too much: a man of few words, but very nice.

One day, they were like, ‘Ice Cube wants to speak to you,’ and I’m like, ‘OK…’ So they call me into a room and he’s way far distant from me and it’s some bodyguards there.

And I’m [thinking], ‘What we about to talk about?’”Palmer continued: “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.

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.
