American actress, Keke Palmer has revealed how she was given advice from Ice Cube when she was a teenager, and though it didnt necessarily resonate with her at the time, it has since proven to be something that she took on board . Appearing on Shannon Sharpes Club Shay Shay podcast for a new episode published on Thursday November 22, Keke recalled the advise from the rapper and actor on set of their 2008 film, The Long Shots.I was on the set of The Long Shots with Ice Cube. He was very cool, very chill, she began. He didnt 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 Im like, Okay So they call me into a room and hes like, way far distant from me and its some bodyguards there. And Im [thinking], What we about to talk about? You know? And hes like, I just want to tell you, Keke. Youre 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 youre 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 its not the way you see yourself. So protect yourself, be careful and dont let them take advantage of you. Know who you are and know what you have, so people cant use it against you.She continued: And I didnt 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. Hes a father; hes 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 havent seen him since but I would love to tell him that really stuck with me all these years and thank you for reminding me. Keke Palmer had a tumultuous breakup with her childs father Darius Jackson in 2023, which included the multi-hyphenate filing for a restraining order after she accused him of physical abuse during their relationship. A court granted her the temporary restraining order, which required Darius to stay away from her and their young son Leo.In the filing, Palmer detailed several violent incidents, including one from 2022 where she alleged Jackson slammed me on the floor and slapped my head from side to side in their bedroom.The next morning, he was standing at the bottom of the stairs near the front door, screaming at me as I was coming down the stairs, she added. When I was almost at the bottom of the stairs, he grabbed me around the neck and body slammed me back onto the stairs. Palmer also included footage of an alleged attack by Jackson in early November, where she claims he grabbed her neck and face. In turn, Darius then filed for a restraining order against Palmer and claimed she was abusive towards him in their relationship. He claimed that the 30-year-old actress admitted to hitting him and becoming verbally abusive after drinking alcohol. In July, it was reported the pair had come to a resolution and settled out of court. The post
