"I'm gonna have my cake and eat it too" The Ivory Queen of Soul, Teena Marie, said! Teena Marie's legacy as a pioneering artist is unparalleled. Yet, Lady T never won a Grammy Award for any of her recordings, nor has she ever received star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, yet Shrek and Big Bird have one.

Unfair Fame: Hollywood Overlooks Teena Marie While P. Diddy Faces Allegations!"
The controversy surrounding P. Diddy's Hollywood Walk of Fame star amidst his legal troubles highlights a significant bias in Hollywood's recognition practices.
Despite facing serious allegations, including federal investigations into abuse and misconduct, Diddy's star remains intact because the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce claims they lack the authority to remove stars.
This tolerance contrasts sharply with the lack of recognition for artists like Teena Marie, who broke racial barriers and contributed significantly to music but remain unacknowledged by such honors.
The disparity underscores Hollywood's tendency to prioritize fame over ethical considerations, often ignoring misconduct if the individual holds significant influence.
To address this, Hollywood must reassess its criteria for awarding and maintaining honors like the Walk of Fame stars, ensuring they reflect both artistic contributions and ethical standards.
