*Tupac Shakur’s sister Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur honored him in an emotional speech as the late rapper received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday.
Sekyiwa serves as president of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation and during the Walk of Fame ceremony, she recalled her childhood with the artist, PEOPLE reports.
“As the proud sister of Tupac Amaru Shakur, the daughter of Mutulu and Afeni Shakur, it fills my heart with honor to stand here today representing the Shakur family,” she said.
“Tupac knew deep down that he was always meant for something great, and as his little sister, I had the privilege to watch that greatness unfold,” she shared.

“From the first time he stepped foot on the stage of the Apollo Theater at 13 years old, before anyone recognized his name, he knew he had the dream to have a star here on the Walk of Fame,” Sekyiwa said.
Pac’s Walk of Fame star comes 26 years after he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting at age 25.
“Today, we’re not just honoring a star on the ground,” Sekyiwa said through tears, per PEOPLE. “But we’re honoring the work and the passion that he has put into making his dreams come true. His heavenly star will shine a little brighter today.”
