Selena Gomez And Chris Rock's Shade History Goes Back Further Than You Think
Chris Rock is definitely no stranger to throwing shade and speaking his mind — his 2016 Oscars monologue proved that — but his recent slam of Selena Gomez is stirring the pot on Twitter.
On Tuesday (June 7), Rock basically joked Gomez was the poor man's Beyoncé, and Selenators had a hard time keeping their hands opinions to themselves after seeing their kween dissed in such a way.
Of course, this tweet is a tad confusing, since Rock and Gomez definitely hung out at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 2010. But was their heart-to-heart on the red carpet actually filled with hidden passive-aggressive shade? We "unearthed" the transcript of the, uh, "conversation" — here's what it "said."
Gomez: OMG, hi!
Rock: Hey, what's up? You look great. That outfit is so you, such a representation of who you are, and not someone else.
Gomez: Aww, thanks! Yeah, I hate it when artists try to copy other artists's looks, ya know?
Rock: Uh huh, totally.
Gomez: Are these your kids?
Rock: Yep, Lola and Zahra.
Gomez: Hi, guys! You're so cute!
Rock: My girls run the world.
Gomez: That sounds like lyrics to a song.
Rock: Well, they will be, thanks to Beyoncé.
Gomez: Come on, guys. Give me a hug!
Rock: They love you and Beyoncé because you're both so unique, so different, worlds apart. Like, light-years apart. One is definitely not like the other.
Gomez: That's so sweet! Yeah, we're just two musicians doin' our own thing.
Rock: Mhmm. [Winks.]
Gomez: I'm obsessed with Beyoncé's voice. She's one in a million.
Rock: Yeah, and everyone knows it. She's iconic.
Gomez: Totally.
Rock: Original.
Gomez: You betcha.
Rock: And flawless.
Gomez: She's who I want to be!
Rock: You don't say. [Turns to his daughters] All right, girls. Who wants some lemonade?
