Cameron Diaz Names Tyler, The Creator Her ‘GOAT’ Rapper

Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz discuss who their GOAT rappers are in this episode of 'GOAT Talk.'

Cameron Diaz has two surprise rappers that she keeps in rotation: Travis Scott and Tyler, The Creator.

The actress joined fellow Back In Action star Jamie Foxx for the latest episode of Complex's GOAT Talk, where they discussed GOAT comedians, mannerisms they've noticed in each other, and more.

Around the 13-minute mark of the video above, the costars got into the 'GOAT Rapper' category, where Tyler was Diaz's choice.

"I ran into Tyler, The Creator at a restaurant. I didn't know he was that tall," Foxx said. "That motherfucker is like, 6'2 and rocked up."

"'Yeah, I get that a lot,'" Foxx continued, mimicking Tyler's voice.

"Also, I've just kind of gotten a little bit more into Travis Scott," Diaz added. "I didn't realize and I was like, 'Oh this is some elevated shit.'"

While Diaz was probably introduced to Tyler and Travis' music through her husband, Benji Madden, with whom she shares a daughter, Raddix, and a nine-month-old son, Cardinal, Foxx went the throwback route and chose Jay-Z as his GOAT, before signing off with the Roc Nation founder's laugh.

As a Long Beach native, Diaz has been friendly with a certain rapper for years, fellow Long Beach Polytechnic High School alum, Snoop Dogg. In a 2011 episode of former George Lopez talk show Lopez Tonight, Diaz recalled that she possibly bought weed from the "Let's Get Blown" artist.

"We went to high school together. He was a year older than me," she told Lopez around the one-minute mark below. I remember him, he was very tall and skinny, he wore lots of ponytails in his head, and I’m pretty sure I bought weed from him. I had to have."
