Comedian Martin Lawrence has been making the world laugh for more than two decades. His presence has been felt on the stage, the small screen and on the silver screen in that time span cementing his legacy as a comedy god. 

In the 1990s, Lawrence was the star of his self-titled sitcom Martin that has become an iconic and timeless show that is still beloved by millions even to this day. He has been in hit films like the Bad Boys franchise, Big Momma's House and the hit Spike Lee classic Do The Right Thing. And this year, the comedy legend will be honored for his lasting impact on pop culture.

On Sept. 18, VH1's Hip-Hop Honors: The 90's Game Changers will honor the beloved era of hip-hop, television, and film that continues to influence modern entertainment. That means Lawrence, a major force from the decade, will be front and center.

According to Billboard, Lawrence will be one of several other honorees who contributed to the greatest decade ever. 

“Anytime anyone wants to recognize you for your work, it’s an honor. I am looking forward to a really great night of fun and music,” he told Billboard. 

This honor is well-deserved. 

Tune in Sept. 18 at 9 p.m. EST on VH1.
