Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are being immortalized on Hollywood Boulevard. The Grammy-winning Cleveland rap group receives the 2,851st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at a ceremony on Wednesday, July 8, at 6126 Hollywood Blvd., near Gower Street, in the Recording category.
LA radio icon Big Boy is hosting, with Ice-T and Fat Joe scheduled to speak, alongside Xzibit. All five members, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, and Flesh-n-Bone, are set to attend the celebration of their 35-year career.
One note before the details: some early social posts reference an official “Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Day” proclamation at the ceremony. City proclamations are common at Walk of Fame events, but that detail hasn’t yet been confirmed in official or major-outlet reporting, so it’s worth verifying before publishing it as fact.
A Full-Circle Hollywood Moment
The star closes a loop in the group’s origin story: in the early 1990s, the five Ohio natives scraped together money for one-way bus tickets to Los Angeles, hoping to audition in person for Eazy-E. The N.W.A legend signed them to Ruthless Records in 1993 and launched their national career.
“Receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a blessing beyond words,” the group said in a statement. “Coming from Cleveland, we never imagined that the music we created would touch so many lives around the world.”
Who Spoke and What Was Said
Big Boy emcees the ceremony, which streams live on the Walk of Fame’s official channels. Ice-T and Fat Joe — a longtime friend who publicly congratulated the group when the honor was announced — deliver remarks, with Xzibit also speaking.
Ahead of the unveiling, Krayzie Bone dedicated the moment to supporters, writing on Instagram:
“This is bigger than us, this is for the fans, the family, and everyone who’s been rocking with Bone since day one.”
Why Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Earned Their Star
The résumé is formidable. The group has sold more than 60 million records worldwide, landed multiple No. 1 albums, including E. 1999 Eternal and The Art of War, and won a Grammy for “Tha Crossroads,” their Eazy-E tribute that spent eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100.
They remain the only rap group to have recorded with Eazy-E, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., and Big Pun while all four were alive, a distinction unmatched in hip-hop history.
Their influence endures. “There is not a new artist that has come out that is not using an element of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” Krayzie told Variety. “Anybody harmonizing, rapping fast, people know where that came from.”

The Reunion Fueling a Comeback
The honor arrives amid a full-fledged Bone Thugs revival. Recent singles have featured all five original members together, hinting at their first complete-lineup album in years, with the group signed to Conor McGregor’s Greenback Records alongside Xzibit.
The timing is no accident: the ceremony comes just two days before the group launches a concert tour at the Garden Amp in Garden Grove on July 10. “The best is yet to be seen,” Flesh-n-Bone told Variety.
The 2026 Walk of Fame Class
Bone Thugs join a 2026 honoree class that includes Miley Cyrus, Shaquille O’Neal, Demi Moore, Timothée Chalamet, Emily Blunt, The Clark Sisters, and Angélique Kidjo. Regional Mexican group Intocable receives the next star, the 2,852nd, on July 16.
