'Musical icon Angélique Kidjo has become the first black African performer to
be selected for a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Kidjo, who comes from the West African country of Benin and has won five Grammy
awards, was among the 35 names announced as part of the Walk of Fame's class of
2026 list.
The 64-year-old was hailed as Africa's "premier diva" during a press conference
announcing the list on Wednesday.
Singer Miley Cyrus, actor Timothée Chalamet, actress Demi Moore and former
basketball player Shaquille O'Neal are also among those set to be honoured with
a star on Los Angeles' famous walk.
Kidjo receives the honour after making music for more than four decades and
releasing 16 albums.'
