Queen Latifah gets her star

Queen Latifah has become the first hip hop artist to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"I think the reason I am here is to inspire African-American women who are rappers, full-figured women to know that they can do it too," Latifah said.

Latifah's mom Rita said, "Who would have known that in the '70s, when a pink 8-pound baby girl was born, this is where she would be today. She came out screaming, 'Look out world, here I come!'" Good for Latifa she deserves it
