50 Cent honored with Hollywood Walk of Fame star  

A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled Thursday honoring rapper-actor-producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, 10 days before the finale of the Starz crime drama he produces and appears in, “Power”, Fox5sandiego.com reports.

Rappers Dr. Dre and Eminem were among the notables who joined Jackson at the event in front of The W Hollywood Hotel and Hollywood Hamburger at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

Jackson said Mary J. Blige called him earlier to congratulate him for the honor.

“I told her I was nervous, and she was like, `What are you nervous about?’ I said just because it’s starting to feel really important because of who’s coming,” he said. “This is a different experience. I’ve been to awards shows, and when you win at the awards shows there’s some people there, they feel like they should have won. … But you know, this one is different because everybody is in the same space, everybody fees the same way about it. I just want to say thank you, thanks for supporting me.”

The star is the 2,686th since the completion of the Walk of Fame in 1961 with the first 1,558 stars.
