Salt-N-Pepa—the Hip Hop duo comprised of Cheryl "Salt" James and Sandra "Pepa" Denton—will receive a coveted star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles on Friday (November 4). The ceremony is expected to start at 11:30 a.m. PST near Amoeba Music. Hosted by Chair of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Lupita Sanchez Cornejo, the event also includes guest speakers MC Lyte and Roxanne Shanté.
"This upcoming star ceremony honoring Hip-Hop pioneers Salt-N-Pepa will honor the amazing 80s music we all love and so many grew up with!” Walk of Fame Producer Ana Martinez said in a press release. “We’re placing these ladies of Hip Hop royalty adjacent to Amoeba Music and right next to the Walk of Fame star of another Queen of Hip Hop, Missy Elliott."
Salt-N-Pepa became the first female rap act (solo or group) to have a multi-platinum selling album in 1993 following the release of "Very Necessary." It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over seven million copies worldwide. The ceremony will be livestreamed on the Walk of Fame website.
