Long responded to the feat by honoring her mother who manifested this moment. “My mother used to tell me when I was a little girl I would have a star on the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME one day. I never really believed it was possible. Life was hard back then. Today a dream came true for both of us,” the Best Man actress tweeted. “I’m so grateful to be included with this amazing group of artists. Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you to all of you who continue to support my artistry. Thank you @WalkofFameStar for this incredible honor. I love you Mommy.” Shepherd’s announcement was made by her best friend, Niecy Nash-Betts, who squealed in excitement as she read her name. On the live broadcast, the Emmy winner rapped, “They not like us,” and urged the crowd to “clap for my friend” as she reveled in the moment. The daytime talk show host said getting a star was a “dream come true.”
