Ludacris is skipping the May 18 stop of Janet Jackson‘s Together Again tour for a very special occasion: He’ll be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The rapper, who’s acted in the Fast & Furious franchise, New Year’s Eve, No Strings Attached, Crash and Hustle & Flow, will receive the 2,656th star in the Motion Picture category.

“Ludacris has been a pop culture staple for many years,” says Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez. “As both a rapper and actor, he has created some of our favorite music and film moments and we’re thrilled to welcome him to our historic landmark.”
