Hey I might be a little late answering this but I found a pretty easy solution to this. You we're right by looking through the event for the last selected item. This worked for me.

var $eventSelect = $('.select_field'); //select your select2 input
$eventSelect.on('select2:unselect', function(e) {
  console.log('unselect');
  console.log(e.params.data.id); //This will give you the id of the unselected attribute
  console.log(e.params.data.text); //This will give you the text of the unselected text
})
$eventSelect.on('select2:select', function(e) {
  console.log('select');
  console.log(e.params.data.id); //This will give you the id of the selected attribute
  console.log(e.params.data.text); //This will give you the text of the selected
})
