Angélique Kidjo has recently made history by becoming the first Black African artist to receive a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. This momentous occasion took place in the class of 2026, where Kidjo was honored alongside other notable stars such as Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore, and Shaquille O’Neal. At 64 years old, the Beninese singer has captivated audiences worldwide with her unique blend of West African rhythms, jazz, funk, and R&B, solidifying her place as a trailblazer in the world music scene.

Throughout her illustrious career spanning over four decades, Kidjo has garnered five Grammy Awards, released 16 albums, and collaborated with music legends like Burna Boy, Sting, and Alicia Keys. Her influence on the music industry is unparalleled, making her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame a well-deserved recognition of her contributions to the art form. It is worth noting that Kidjo’s achievement also highlights the lack of representation of African artists on the iconic boulevard, with only a few, including Charlize Theron, a white South African actress, sharing this honor.
