Salt-N-Pepa are the next set of icons who will be honored with a long-overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced the news on Tuesday (Oct. 25) that the Hip-Hop/music legends will receive recognition in the Recording category.
“This upcoming star ceremony honoring Hip-Hop pioneers Salt-N-Pepa will honor the amazing 80s music we all love and so many grew up with!” shared Walk of Fame Producer Ana Martinez in a press statement. “We’re placing these ladies of Hip Hop royalty adjacent to Amoeba Music and right next to the Walk of Fame star of another Queen of Hip Hop, Missy Elliott!”
Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandra Denton (Pepa) will also be honored by special guests MC Lyte and Roxanne Chante who will speak at the ceremony.
The duo took to social media to celebrate the news and the fact that they will be right next to their good friend, Missy Elliott’s star on the walk of fame.
Our stars being beside each other makes it all the more special. Your sisterhood and friendship is such a blessing. Thank you @MissyElliott 🇯🇲❤️ https://t.co/BeJaPkbpI3
