Late rapper, activist, and actor Tupac Shakur received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on June 7. At the event, the musician’s sister and fellow rappers spoke of his legacy around the world.

‘Tupac knew deep down that he was always meant for something great. As his little sister, I had the privilege to watch that greatness unfold,’ Sekyiwa Shakur said.

‘From the first time he stepped foot on the stage of the Apollo Theater at 13 years old, before anyone recognised his name, he knew he had the dream to have a star here on the Walk of Fame,’ she said.

Shakur was one of the best-selling musical artists with over 75 million records sold worldwide. He rose from a childhood of poverty in Harlem.

In 1996, Tupac Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas that has never been solved. He was 25.

The ceremony was also attended by fellow members of the late rapper’s music group Outlawz, Malcom Greenidge, and hip-hop legend David Marvin.

One of Tupac Shakur’s most well-known credits includes the song ‘Dear Mama,’ which was dedicated to his mom, Afeni Shakur.

Allen Hughes, director of a recent Hulu documentary about Shakur titled ‘Dear Mama’, said, ‘You see those murals of him in Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe. Then one day it hit me. Tupac Amaru Shakur has become a global symbol of rebellion. A symbol is visible and important as Malcolm X and Che Guevara and an inspiration for activists today.’
