Whitney Houston, The Doobie Brothers, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and T. Rex were also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony takes place on May 2 and will take place at Cleveland’s Public Auditorium.
It will air live on HBO. It’s currently uncertain who will pay tribute to the “Mo Money Mo Problems” rapper during the ceremony.
Biggie’s induction makes the Brooklyn native the second solo rapper to join the Rock Hall, following Tupac Shakur, who was inducted in 2017.
