It took 40 years, but hip hop legend Slick Rick finally became a U.S. citizen on Friday, May 15.
Rick, real name Ricky Walters, and his family migrated from London, England in 2006. They eventually settled in The Bronx, New York.
In 1985 the rapper collaborated with Doug E. Fresh on what would become one of hip hop's most beloved songs, "La Di Da Di."
In 1988, the man known for always rocking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold jewelry, released his debut solo album titled "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick," which spawned the hit songs "Children's Story" and "Hey Young World."
Rick ran into legal trouble in 1989 when he shot his cousin Mark Plummer, who had threatened to kill him and his mother. Another bullet hit a bystander.
Neither of the wounds were life threatening, but Rick would eventually spend five years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of attempted murder, assault, use of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon.
He went on to release three more albums, including 1991's "The Ruler's Back." It featured the hit single "I Shouldn't Have Done It."
The British-born rapper was nearly deported following a 2001 arrest by the Immigration and Naturalization Service while aboard a docked Caribbean cruise ship. The INS claimed Rick's felony record prevented him from living in America.
However, after 17 months he was released from custody.
All of that is behind now. TMZ reports that Rick is now officially a citizen of the United States.

"I am so proud of this moment. And so honored to finally become an American citizen," the 51-year old said outside of a New York City courtroom on Friday.
Congratulations to Slick Rick!

Chamillionaire has founded a new tech start up company, X Empire, that will offer users “Downloadable software applications for streaming communications with entertainers, politicians, and celebrities," according to Business Insider.
The 36-year old rapper, real name Hakeem Seriki, has raised $1.3 million of the $3 million in capital he's seeking to get his new company off the ground. If things go according to plan, Cham will have reached the billionaire status that he feels has not been achieved as much as it should have by other rap moguls.
So @chamillionaire is finally ready to own up to having founded a tech startup pic.twitter.com/WSLJ2WRLJr

“I walked around the music industry for a bunch of years, right? I saw a lot of rich people. I didn’t see wealthy,” he told VICE. “I got into the tech industry, I see wealthy every day. The Snapchat CEO is 24 years old and a billionaire. How many billionaires do I have to walk around the music industry to find? I’m in Silicon Valley, I’m in L.A., I’m in Santa Monica, and I’m seeing billionaires all over the place. And they’re young. That’s not in the music industry.”
We admire Chamillionaire's ambition and wish him nothing but the best in his new business venture.

It's been nearly a year since the May 17, 2015 shooting death of rapper Chinx in Queens, New York, and police are still searching for answers.
Lead detectives Lt. Louron Hall and Lt. Richard Rudolph shed some new light on their investigation in an interview with Fox 5 New York.
Hall and Rudolph dismissed the theory that Chinx, real name Lionel Pickens, was killed in a drive-by shooting. They believe he was targeted. Rudolph says the shooter exited a dark colored Altima or Mercedes and walked up to the 31-year old's Porsche and began firing.
Twelve 9mm shell casings were recovered at the scene.
"He was not involved as far as we know with any type of serious drugs," Rudolph said. "But he was about to make it big. He was going to make money."
The shooting did not take place on Queens Boulevard as had been widely reported, but on Main Street at the intersection.
The detectives have not gotten any cooperation from the public during the investigation. They are asking anyone with information to contact them.
"Individuals in the rap industry ... we really need those people to come forward," Hall told Fox 5.
A posthumous album from Chinx titled "Legends Never Die" will be released on June 3rd. The lead single "For the Love" is available now on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/for-love-feat.-meet-sims-single/id1101360916
