Award-winning performer Melba Moore was recently honored with her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Last week, the 77-year-old singer was the 2,760th person to receive the homage. There to celebrate Moore were fellow performers Jimmy Jam, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Freda Payne and Lunell.

Comedian Katt Williams was also present to commemorate Moore’s achievements. However, afterward, Williams would be recognized for his kindness. Moore told the crowd that Williams paid the entire $75,000 fee for her to receive her well-earned star.

On Sunday, she posted a message addressed to the Next Friday actor on her Instagram.

“A public thank you to KW. He is the sole sponsor of my Star 🌟………I am still in shock 😱 #2,760 August 10, 2023.”

She ended the post by telling Williams, “Katt in me you have a Friend.”
