Diddy Walk Of Fame Star In Hollywood Can’t Be Removed, Alleged Insider Reveals

by

With so many sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking lawsuits and accusations against Diddy, people are thinking a lot about his reputation. More specifically, they are considering his massive influence, financial stake, and ubiquity in the entertainment sphere, a presence that these allegations are shifting quite dramatically. Moreover, folks are reacting to Sean Combs’ legacy change in real time, although some initiatives to de-platform him in the wake of these alleged crimes seem more futile than others. For example, an alleged representative for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce reportedly spoke to TMZ about one particularly visible and popular accolade of his: his Walk of Fame star.

If you’re unfamiliar, Diddy had previously gotten a spot on the iconic Hollywood attraction in 2008, all for a career that was then-unencumbered by these accusations. However, the Chamber has reportedly not discussed removing his star yet, and this spokesperson doesn’t have much hope for the chances of doing so. They explained that, while the Chamber has permission to nominate honorees, craft and place the stars with help from the city, and carry out the Walk of Fame installation ceremony, it doesn’t have the authority to physically remove stars from the block. As such, it looks like this will permanently celebrate Puff Daddy even as public favor wanes and wanes.

Meanwhile, celebrities and large media figures like 50 Cent are taking the offensive when it comes to this Diddy situation. Some of them have been unfiltered and staunch in their condemnation of his alleged actions. While sometimes it’s for jokes and other times it’s with a more serious note, it makes it clear that there are many people in the industry that do not want to associate with the Bad Boy mogul anymore, or maybe even in the first place. Either way, there’s a much different context surrounding things now.

Still, there are those in Diddy’s life that seem ready to defend him and their family amid these allegations, including his own sons. They recently teased new music coming soon, and follows up their denial of any and all accused wrongdoing. He has a tough hill to climb, and the Cassie footage ensured that public perception will always skew against him. Now, what we have to see is whether a court of law reaches the same conclusion.

by

Ludacris has become one of the few rappers to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star, numbered 2,756, now belongs to him and is located at 6426 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. The unveiling of the star was held earlier today and livestreamed online. Ludacris was accompanied by an impressive lineup of supporters, as well. Big names such as LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Vin Diesel, and Tyrese were all in attendance. However, there was a particularly moving moment for the rapper during the ceremony. Legendary Los Angeles radio host Ellen K announced that Luda’s eldest daughter, Karma, would be sharing some thoughts. The rapper had no clue.

“I was fighting tears. Seriously, I was glad that I had my sunglasses on today,” Ludacris said. “That blew me away. Usually, it’s not easy for people to keep certain things from me, but that was 100 percent a surprise. Seems like everybody knew but me! I’m a little pissed off right now. I’m a little mad.” The ceremony came just before the debut of Luda’s new Fast and Furious film, which is set to release tomorrow.

Ludacris Thanks Those That Made Him Who He Is

As the ceremony was a celebration of all of Ludacris’ accomplishments, he made sure to thank those who helped him get where he is. The rapper acknowledged and praised his contemporaries and supporters. Furthermore, he emphasized that he owes his success to the collective of individuals who contributed to shaping him into the person he is today. “No matter what people say I can’t do, I will continue to shatter those stereotypes and show people it’s possible in order to make everyone who got me here proud,” Ludacris noted. “Because you all inspire my hard work and dedication to receive this star today. I’m motivated by legacy and history.”

Luda continued to thank those who came to support him during the ceremony. “I’m just so thankful. So, getting a star is a statement, but be clear about this statement, the even bigger statement to me is that we are all interconnected,” he said. “And I am a culmination of the people who showed up for me today believing in me and pushing me to inspire me. So y’all be clapping for me all day I’m gonna need y’all to give yourselves a round of applause. Because I’m nothing without you.” It’s an extremely selfless sentiment on a special day for Luda.
