Brandy Norwood receives her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Join the live ceremony with remarks from Issa Rae and Babyface.

AceShowbiz - Brandy Norwood is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, March 30, at 11:30 a.m. PT. The ceremony will take place at 6201 Hollywood Boulevard and will be streamed live on the Walk of Fame’s official site.

The event promises to be a significant celebration of Brandy’s enduring impact on the entertainment industry. Actress and writer Issa Rae and singer-producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds will deliver remarks during the ceremony, which will be hosted by sports and entertainment presenter Sibley Scoles.

Babyface, who received his own Walk of Fame star in 2013, has a notable connection to Brandy. He wrote the song "Sittin' Up in My Room," which Brandy recorded for the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack in 1995. The single reached No. 2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, marking an early highlight in her career.

This year has been filled with accolades for Brandy. On January 29, she was honored at the Recording Academy Honors event presented by the Black Music Collective in Los Angeles, alongside Pharrell Williams and Kirk Franklin. The ceremony took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza and celebrated prominent figures in music.

Brandy’s biggest commercial success remains the 1998 duet "The Boy Is Mine" with Monica. The track dominated the Billboard Hot 100 for 13 weeks, setting a record as the longest-running No. 1 hit by two female artists collaborating. It also earned a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, which stands as Brandy’s sole Grammy win out of 13 nominations.

Throughout her career, Brandy has achieved two No. 1 singles on the Hot 100 and three chart-toppers on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs list. Additionally, she has released four albums that reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200, all of which placed within the top three positions.

While Brandy is being recognized on the Walk of Fame in the recording category, her talents extend beyond music. She starred as the lead on the UPN sitcom Moesha from 1996 to 2001 and portrayed Cinderella in the 1997 television film Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, appearing alongside Whitney Houston.

Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez commented on the honor: "Brandy has captivated audiences for decades with a voice and artistry that helped shape modern R&B and inspire generations of performers. Honoring her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a celebration of not only her extraordinary music career, but also her lasting impact on television, film, and popular culture."

This upcoming ceremony will mark the 2,839th star awarded on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce manages the Walk of Fame on behalf of the City of Los Angeles. Since its inception in 1960, millions of visitors have come to this iconic cultural landmark.

Brandy’s star will serve as a visible tribute to her multifaceted contributions and the legacy she continues to build in entertainment.
