Congratulations to the OG Snoop Dogg on receiving his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Alongside Dr. Dre, Quincy Jones, and more, watch Snoop Dogg's acceptance speech below:

Before he became one of the greatest rappers of all-time, Tupac was just a teenager in love.

14-year-old Tupac wrote two letters in 1985 to his classmate Averel and is on sale now for $15,000.

Averel allegedly sold the letters to Moments In Time and wasn't "too impressed" with his writing.

The first letter opens with Shakur introducing himself as 'Tupac (Two Pack),' a hint at his future rapper name, 2Pac.

He also explains that his name is of Puerto Rican descent, that he's 1/4 Puerto Rican and 3/4 black, and that he's from the Bronx, New York.

Pac's nickname was apparently 'New York,' since he signed the first letter 'Tupac A. Shakur (or New York) and the second 'Tupac "New York" Shakur.'

Nelly has mutually settled his lawsuit with the woman who claims he raped her on a tour bus.

According to TMZ, the woman named Monique Greene, says Nelly assaulted her with both oral and vaginal sex against her will.

Nelly countersued Greene claiming the sex was consensual and that she defamed him.
