Despite the delay, Martin’s star is a well-deserved recognition of his talent and contributions to the industry.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by TheYBF (@theybf_daily) When Kevin Frazier of ET questioned the Bad Boys star about how long it took to receive the star, Martin responded, "Better late than never."
