Dr. Dre To Receive Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Next To Snoop Dogg

Producer Dr. Dre will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next to his longtime friend, Snoop Dogg.

The Aftermath Entertainment founder will receive the prestigious honor during an unveiling ceremony on Tuesday, March 19th, in the category of Recording. Dre’s star represents the 2,775th one featured on the celebrity monument for his countless achievements. Dre played a monumental role in the success of hip-hop group NWA, and after a stint at Death Row Records, he launched Aftermath, which helped skyrocket Eminem’s career. Dre has earned Grammy Awards and led several other successful business ventures, such as founding Beats headphones in 2006.

“As a producer, rapper, and entrepreneur, Dr. Dre has continuously pushed boundaries and set new standards for excellence. It is with great pride that we honor his incredible career and extraordinary impact by awarding him a star on the Walk of Fame,” stated Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, before confirming that Snoop and Dre’s star will lay side-by-side.

Given the location of Dre’s star and their longstanding friendships, Snoop will likely be attending Dre’s big day, the same way that Dre helped present Snoop with his own star in 2018. Quincy Jones and Jimmy Kimmel also came out to honor Snoop, with both expected attendees during Dre’s star. The men have recorded numerous songs together, including “Nuthin But A G Thing,” “Gin N Juice,” and “The Next Episode,” to name a few.
