Charlie Wilson was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday (January 29), which also happened to be his 71st birthday. A host of Charlie's celebrity friends came out to celebrate the event, including Kanye, Tank, Babyface, and Snoop Dogg.
During his speech, Wilson credited Snoop Dogg for helping him get back on his feet after he was left homeless and struggling with addiction on the streets of Hollywood. Wilson stated, "To my Snoop, my nephew, you and your family mean the world to me. You’re a man of your word, and have been instrumental to my comeback in music. You always done everything you could do to elevate me… when some people would say no, you would make them say yes. What did you do to them, man?"
Snoop then spoke to the crowd, where he gave Charlie his flowers, stating, "Charlie Wilson, this man right here means the world to me, not just musically but personally, especially in terms of me and my wife. There were certain phases in my life where I felt like I should be by myself, I should do this alone, and Charlie was the only one man enough to pull me to the side and let me know… to get back home, you’ve got the greatest woman in the world, you’ve got a family. He showed me, he taught me, not just by saying it but by showing me, so I appreciate you for showing me family values." You can check out more above.
