Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, becoming the first African musician and the first Black African performer to be honored, according to reports. Her star is listed as the 2,854th on the Walk of Fame.
The ceremony is scheduled for August 18 at 11:30 a.m. PT on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Both outlets agree on the date, time, location, and the significance of the recognition.
While the outlets emphasize milestone language, the core details align: Kidjo is the honoree for the upcoming Walk of Fame event, and the recognition is framed as a historic first for African and Black African performers in this category.
