According to the official rules, the Hollywood Walk of Fame committee accepts nominations each year and then meets in June to determine each year's class. Anyone can nominate a star they feel worthy of the honor, but there's only one slot available for a celebrity who died in each category, and whoever that person was must have died at least two years earlier, according to the selection process. Once selected, a ceremony must take place within two years or the process starts all over.
On the selection of Tupac Shakur for a star on the Walk of Fame, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said in a statement, "Tupac Shakur was a rapper, actor, activist, poet, and revolutionary. This iconic artist has continued to be part of the zeitgeist for decades after his passing and will continue to be an important cultural figure for many years to come." Rapper Big Boi from Outkast was set to host the event, and Shakur's sister Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur was tapped to accept the honor on the family's behalf.
