The flowers have relentlessly poured in for Missy Elliott in 2022. After MTV announced Nicki Minaj as the recipient of the 2022 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at August’s VMAs ceremony, she shouted-out Missy as the trailblazer since she was the first female rapper to achieve the feat in 2019.
“Mumbling cackling??? nah omg thank you Missy,” Nicki responded. “You kicked down this [door]. Nothing but Love Respect for your iconic artistry. #VMAs #NickiVmas #VideoVanguard.”
Earlier this year, Lil Wayne also showed the Grammy-winning rapper love when he listed Missy Elliott at the top of his Hip Hop Mount Rushmore.
