- Story Text:Rapper-turned-actor and movie producer Ice Cube was immortalized in Hollywood on Monday (June 12) as the Los Angeles native was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Ice Cube, who received the 2,614 star on Hollywood Boulevard, was accompanied for the ceremony by friends and family, including billionaire rapper-turned entrepreneur Dr. Dre.
"You know you don't get here by yourself and when you're coming up doing music, movies, just trying to be creative, you never figure you'll be on the Hollywood Walk of Fame one day," Ice Cube told fans after his star was unveiled.
"So today is not really about Ice Cube, it's about all the people who helped me get here," he added.
Ice Cube found fame in the 1980s alongside Dr. Dre in the West Coast rap group N.W.A.. Ice Cube wrote the lyrics for their iconic "Straight Outta Compton' among others. He released his debut solo album "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" in 1990.
He began acting in movies in 1991 with a starring role in "Boyz n the Hood." He has since appeared in the films "Friday," "Barbershop,'' and "Three Kings."
Ice Cube also was a producer of the 2015 N.W.A. biopic ``Straight Outta Compton'' - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
