Steve Harvey Speech at Martin Lawrence's Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony

[@camillejarrett5008]

I can’t believe Martin didn’t already have a star. Glad he has one now, welll deserved!!!

[@audreymo63]

That's what I said. How Michael B Jordan get one before Marty Mar? Looooooong overdue👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👑

[@juanitawitherspoon5364]

Even Tracy Morgan got his years ago and he put him on !!

[@shibishimsi1722]

Maybe he just took time to apply for it

[@agape354]

I honestly thought Martin had a Star already. I'm shocked that he has only received this recognition now. Well deserved Martin, thanks for all the laughs over the years. I hope you continue to soar. Congratulations.

[@alonzodunlap1688]

That's that Def Jam disrespect. Steve said what Def Jam meant to the world of comedy. Martin should have been had a Star.

[@devontheoned5152]

right me too. I thought he already had a star. I'm so surprised

[@vanessaaustin938]

Thank you martain, for all the laughs and smile you still bring us. You show martain is #1 in my book. Not a week go by and I got to see some martain. How many characters. do martain play? 9, name them.

[@jenniferjeffers9531]

Same shit I said......Martin is a pure legend especially playing ALL them characters he played and EVERYONE around him he made better!!!!

[@youngjah2010]

Steve is speaking from the heart. No script at all!!! Martin is a LEDGEND and WE ALL APPRECIATE HIM. We teach Martin Lawrence Black History in this house!

[@younghurricane1995]

So very proud of Martin Lawrence, he came a very long way to change the landscape of filming and movies and TV shows❤ ... Congratulations Martin Lawrence, very well deserved ❤

[@KickinitMary]

Steve is 1,000 percent correct!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽

[@DLex912]

Im so glad to see Martin get his flowers while he is still with us. Sometimes I feel he gets overlooked when conversations of the greats of comedy come about. Lets not forget that people like Steve Harvey, Bernie Mack, Chris Tucker, Cedric the Ent, Earthquake, DC Curry etc😂 were stamped by Martin in the def jam era. Martin is a huge staple in a lot of people's success and its good to see him honored for it. "You go boy!"

ABSOLUTELY!!!

You pay for the upkeep of your star. This star ain't free. 😂 You get nominated and if u accept u have to pay or get sponsored 50,000 for the maintenance and upkeep. So someone in Michael's camp nominated him or he nominated himself. 😂

[@spiderpimp33]

No lies told! I grew up Def Jam and Martin. Martin is literally my all-time favorite sitcom and he made me watch Def Jam. My parents were apprehensive because I was like 8 when it came out, but hell, they loved Marty Mar too! So we watched as a family.
