After being told that he’d be given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Busta Rhymes got “emotional.”
After getting the news in June about the 2025 unveiling, the hip-hop icon told Variety, “I’m not gonna lie, it was probably one of the most prestigious moments, one of the most emotional moments, one of the most dream come true moments. It’s really one of the things you never think you’ll ever get.”
Born Trevor Smith, the legendary rapper stated that some musicians go their entire careers without receiving any awards or honors whatsoever.
“There are incredible icons in this world that have never gotten a Grammy, they’ve never gotten an MTV Award. They’ve never gotten a Hollywood star. They’ve never been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” “And they could’ve lived to be 90 years old and still never got it. They could have been professionally recording for 70 years and still never got it.” “It’s just such a profound moment for me, when I still am at a stage in my life where I am on an upswing of business, upswing of creativity, an upswing of happiness and upswing of joy. I’m probably in the best place in my life,” said Busta.
Now 52-years-old, Rhymes’ contribution to music has landed him 12 Grammy nominations and 16 MTV Video Music Award noms without a single win.
Along with the rap artist, the Hollywood Walk Of Fame class of 2025includes Keith Urban, Green Day, Prince, Jessica Chastain, Colin Farrell and Jane Fonda, among others.
