The news that 2Pac will eventually get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame comes only a few weeks before the late rapper’s 52nd birthday.
Tupac will receive the 2,758th space on the renowned walk during his star ceremony on June 7, according to Variety, which broke the news on Wednesday (May 31). Pac’s sister Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur and West Coast radio great Big Boy will present the star.
Pac, who was shot in Las Vegas in the hours after a Mike Tyson fight on September 7, 1996, and who passed away in a nearby hospital six days later, had been waiting a long time for the love of California.
The divisive rapper was well-known for more than just his multi-platinum albums; throughout the 1990s, he appeared in Juice, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim, and Gridlock’d. He was also a celebrated actor.
Being a Black Panther’s son, 2Pac believed himself to be a revolutionary and dedicated his 25 years to social activism.
Shakur’s legacy is still being recognized more than 25 years after his death. In addition to the Hollywood celebrity, Oakland, where he started his career as a member of Digital Underground, will rename a street in his honor.

Between Grand Avenue and Van Buren Avenue, a section of MacArthur Boulevard will be renamed “Tupac Shakur Way.” Councilman Carroll Fife proposed the idea to rename the section of the street.
The resolution calling for the street name change stated that “Tupac Shakur’s legacy will continue through his contributions to art and social outreach, through his family and fans, touching countless lives of children and elders over the years while alive and after his death, taken too young by gun violence.”
Hulu now offers the famous Dear Mama documentary, which explores 2Pac’s life through the perspective of his mother Afeni. Chance The Rapper gave Dear Mama great marks and called the five-part documentary “probably the best documentary” he has ever seen.
