Our Uncle Charlie finally got his STAR!!!

Charlie Wilson became the latest Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee on Monday (Jan. 29), which also happened to be his 71st birthday.

Jimmy Jam hosted the star-studded ceremony that featured special guests like Chanté Moore, Kanye West, Johnny Gill, Tyler, The Creator, Ty Dolla $ign, Leon Thomas, Ant Clemons, Stephen Hill, Tank, Terry Lewis, and of course guest speakers Snoop Dogg and Babyface.

“I remember when I first came to Los Angeles, I was here to mix the songs from The Gap Band’s first record,” Wilson quipped during his speech. “But I was walking in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and I was trying to put my hands in the hands on the sidewalk. I was like, ‘Wow, what if I can get this one day?’ Some woman walking by said, ‘That’s not impossible.’ I said, ‘But I’m talking about me.’ She said, ‘Yeah, and I’m telling you it’s not impossible. It might be improbable, but not impossible.’ And now, here it is — so many years later, and I’m getting that star on Hollywood Boulevard.”

During the ceremony, Snoop, Babyface, Pharrell, and Wilson’s longtime manager, Michael Paran, all gave emotional anecdotes about their distinct relationships with the “There Goes My Baby” crooner.

Snoop discussed the moment when Mahin pulled him aside during a recording session, telling him to cut back on his marijuana usage around the singer. “‘Nobody can smoke if Charlie is in the studio,’” the rapper recalled, mimicking Mahin’s voice. “So, the first day we was like ‘man who is this lady tryna tell us what to do? We smokin’ homie. We doin’ what we wanna do. Kick rocks with all that.’ Second day, she pulled me to the side and she talked to me like my mother […] and she put so much respect in me [that] we didn’t smoke around Charlie Wilson when he was working with us.”

On a separate occasion, Wilson told him not to smoke around the children he coached on a youth football team. So, Snoop quit for 120 days.

He later expressed, “This man means the world to me—not just musically, but personally […] The things you taught me: showmanship, business, family—that’s a treasure to me.”
