“Ice Cube told me, ‘You’re growing into a young woman… Protect yourself, be careful, and don’t let them take advantage of you. Know who you are and what you have so people can’t use it against you,’” she recalled.
Keke expressed her deep gratitude for his words, calling him a “father figure” and acknowledging how much his wisdom has meant to her over the years. She credited Ice Cube for helping her stay grounded as she faced the pressures and pitfalls that often come with a career in the spotlight, especially for young entertainers.
A Mentor for the Industry
