Tupac “2Pac” Shakur finally received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce immortalized the late musician/actor on Hollywood Boulevard on June 7.

Dear Mama filmmaker Allen Hughes and radio personality Big Boy were among the attendees of 2Pac’s posthumous Walk of Fame ceremony. Activist/poet Jamal Joseph also attended the event.

Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur accepted the star on her brother’s behalf. In addition, Set Shakur released a statement about 2Pac being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“We aren’t just honoring a star on the sidewalk; we are honoring the very essence of a person who fearlessly pursued his dreams and fought to turn them into reality. This is Tupac’s moment – the culmination of years of dedication and passion,” says Set Shakur about 2Pac.

She continues, “Even before the world recognized his name, he dreamed of having a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. And today, the unveiling of Tupac’s star not only pays tribute to his contributions to the entertainment industry but also speaks volumes about his lasting impact, even after 25 years.”

Prior to his passing in September 1996, 2Pac released the classic albums Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me. Several projects, such as The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, came out after the New York-born emcee’s death.

2Pac also starred in motion pictures like Juice, Poetic Justice, and Above the Rim. A biopic about his life, titled All Eyez on Me, hit theaters in 2017. Set Shakur concluded, “I couldn’t be prouder of my brother to watch his star now shine even brighter.”
