Next month, Ashanti will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Per a press release, the dedication ceremony for Ashanti’s star—which marks the 2,718th star in the Walk of Fame’s recording category—will take place on April 7. Confirmed to be on hand for the moment are frequent collaborator Ja Rule, Tichina Arnold (who worked with Ashanti on a revival of The Wiz), and master of ceremonies Lupita Sanchez-Cornejo.
“Ashanti is an award-winning singer, author, actress, and executive producer,” Ana Martinez, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, said this week. “She has proven her talent in many different Hollywood industries and is an example for young girls who want to be in the ‘biz.’”
In a brief Instagram caption commemorating the news, Ashanti said she was left “speechless” by the honor.
