Angélique Kidjo Makes History as the First African Artist to Join the Hollywood Walk of Fame

By

After becoming the African artist with most Grammy Awards [5], Beninese singer and songwriter Angelique has yet again made another history, extending her record as the most decorated act of the continent.

This time around, she historically becomes the first African artist ever to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The music icon known for her powerful voice, globe-spanning and chart-topping records was honoured in the Recordings category alongside global stars like Miley Cyrus, The Clark Sisters, and more. The honour recognises her decades of groundbreaking work in music and her role in sharing African sound and culture with the world.

The announcement came during a live press conference at Ovation Hollywood, where the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce revealed the Walk of Fame Class of 2026—a list of 35 artists across music, film, television, live theatre and sports entertainment.

“We are excited to announce the newest selections of 35 esteemed individuals who will be enshrined onto the Walk of Fame,” said Peter Roth, former CEO of Warner Bros. Television and chair of the selection committee. “These talented individuals have made significant contributions to the world of entertainment, and we are thrilled to honour them with this well-deserved recognition.”

Speaking on the honor, Kidjo hoped it would open more doors for African artists, adding that the world needs to recognize talents irrespective of where they came from.
