Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, and more celebrities were in attendance at the unveiling of Dr. Dre's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles on Tuesday. With his speech at the ceremony, Dre thanked his long-time fans for their unwavering support over the years.
"I'm incredibly grateful for your support throughout the years. Most of us have grown up together. And at nearly 60 years old, you're still rocking with me, and I really appreciate that," he said. "Thank you so much. Which is really good, because I'm nowhere near done. You better believe there's a lot more coming." Dre added: "Pouring my whole soul and self into my passion for hip-hop led me on a pathway to an incredible career, and I've been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do."
