Rapper Ice Cube poses with his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday and thanked everyone who helped his career in music and movies.
Friends and family attended the ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard, including Dr. Dre, a former fellow member of his "gangsta" rap group N.W.A.
Ice Cube, born O'Shea Jackson, found fame in the 1980s as part of the rap group N.W.A. but then departed the group over a royalty dispute.
The rapper began acting in movies in 1991 with a starring role in John Singleton's film about life in a Los Angeles ghetto, Boyz n the Hood.
He has since appeared in the films Friday, Barbershop, and Three Kings.
Ice Cube was also a producer on the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton, which told the story of N.W.A.
