P. Diddy received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame Friday, during a ceremony attended by the hip-hop mogul, family and friends, celebrity well-wishers and hundreds of fans.

The star, No. 2,362 on Hollywood Blvd., was introduced by actor Jamie Foxx, who led attendees in a chant of “Diddy! Diddy! Diddy!”

“Today is proof that if you believe, all your dreams can come true,” P. Diddy, real name Sean Combs, told the crowd. “I’ve gone from Harlem to Hollywood.”

He dedicated the star to his father, who was shot and killed in 1972.

The rapper and producer also paid tribute to his late grandmother and his mother Janice, who stood at the podium alongside her son.

“If it wasn’t for my mother, I wouldn’t be here,” Combs said. “I hope it makes you proud, mom.”
