Some celebrities get awards, some get street names, and a select few get their very own day. After all, there are only so many days to go around, and just a handful honor the world\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\n
Trending<\/strong><\/p>\n The kind of celebrities who get their own day aren\u2019t just stars. In many cases, they\u2019re the very best in their field. The Notorious B.I.G., for instance, naturally has his own day in Brooklyn for being one of the greatest rappers ever<\/a>. There are also figures like Kevin Hart and Metro Boomin, both of whom left a lasting mark on comedy and Hip Hop, respectively.<\/p>\n From global music icons like Beyonc\u00e9 to actors like the late Chadwick Boseman, here are 14 celebrities who\u2019ve earned their own special day.<\/p>\n Although the BeyHive celebrates Beyonc\u00e9 365 days of the year, Minneapolis gave her a special day of her own. During her \u201cRenaissance World Tour\u201d stop, Mayor Jacob Frey declared July 20 as Beyonc\u00e9 Day in Mill City.<\/p>\n \u201cI might be governor of Minnesota, but we all know who runs the world,\u201d then-governor Tim Walz tweeted. \u201cWelcome to Minnesota, Beyonc\u00e9!\u201d<\/p>\n Boston paid tribute to New Edition with Mayor Michelle Wu officially declaring Aug. 30 as New Edition Day. The city also renamed a portion of a Roxbury street \u2014 where most of the six members grew up \u2014 to New Edition Way<\/a>. \u201cBoston is where it all began for us. This honor means the world to me,\u201d Bobby Brown reacted.<\/p>\n Mustard Day (no, not the condiment) takes place every June 19 in South Los Angeles to honor \u201cNot Like Us\u201d producer Mustard. “I never would have imagined having a day in the city I was born and raised in,” he said at the ceremony, per Complex<\/a>. “I am just super grateful and happy that I could even be named, or have a day in this city, because everything I do is for the city.”<\/p>\n On Sept. 13, 2011, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors declared Jimi Hendrix Winterland Day. He notably performed six shows at the city\u2019s now-closed Winterland Ballroom back in October 1968. That also happened to be the same year The Jimi Hendrix Experience dropped their third and final album, Electric Ladyland.<\/p>\n To mark Diana Ross\u2019 75th birthday, Los Angeles declared March 26 as Diana Ross Day. The proclamation praised her \u201cremarkable career spanning over 50 years\u201d and recognized her as one of the \u201cmost successful recording artists and entertainers of all time.\u201d The \u201cI\u2019m Coming Out\u201d singer earned every bit of the honor.<\/p>\n \u201cSpread love, it\u2019s the Brooklyn way,\u201d Biggie Smalls rapped on \u201cJuicy<\/a>.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what the borough did in 2016, declaring May 21 Christopher \u201cThe Notorious B.I.G.\u201d Wallace Day. Junior M.A.F.I.A.\u2019s Lil\u2019 Cease and the late musician\u2019s daughter, Ty\u2019anna Wallace, were both present at the ceremony the day before.<\/p>\n \u201cOn his birthday, Brooklyn salutes one of our own, who has never been forgotten as long as his music plays,\u201d Eric Adams said<\/a>. \u201cHis energy will remain and continue to inspire people throughout not only the borough of Brooklyn, but Biggie put Brooklyn on the map.\u201d<\/p>\n July 6 carries extra meaning for Kevin Hart. It\u2019s not only his birthday but also Kevin Hart Day in Philadelphia. Talk about a serious flex! \u201cI put on for my city… Philly kid for life,\u201d the comedian captioned his Instagram post. \u201cStill can’t believe that I have a mural.\u201d<\/p>\n Aretha Franklin touched countless lives while she was here. On Feb. 16, 1968, Mayor Jerome P. Cavanaugh officially recognized the date as Aretha Franklin Day.

It represents the culmination of lifetime achievement, and at 30 years old, Metro has done what a lot of people can only dream of,\u201d Mayor Jones said, according to Rolling Stone. \u201cMetro, you\u2019ve made St. Louis so proud.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2022, Trina received the key to the city of Miami during her annual Trina Day, which takes place on May 14 in Liberty City, as Complex<\/a> noted. \u201cThere are not enough words in the vocabulary to express our deep appreciation for everything you\u2019ve done for this community.
