US rapper Snoop Dogg has been honoured with a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Hundreds of fans turned out for the occasion on Hollywood Boulevard as the star was unveiled.
The LA rapper was suitably modest in receiving the honour, thanking himself for his success over the years.
"I want to thank me for believing in me, I want to thank me for doing all this hard work, I want to thank me for having no days off, I want to thank me for never quitting, I want to thank me for always being a giver and trying to give more than I receive," he said.
"I want to thank me for trying to do more right than wrong, I want to thank me for just being me at all times. Snoop Dogg, you a bad motherf*****."
My mentor and big brother @drdre much love .
