Rap icon Missy Elliott is forever a star.
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled Monday, honouring four-time Grammy-winning rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer, Missy Elliott. She was presented with a star in the category of “Recording.”
Ciara and Lizzo helped introduce Elliott at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce ceremony. Elliott’s star was placed outside the new location of Amoeba Music on Hollywood Boulevard. Her manager, Mona Scott-Young, joined her in speaking at the launch.
Missy expressed her gratitude for her fans and supporters.
“I wanna thank God, first of all. Because I’ve been sick. There’s times I’ve been sick. Anxiety, depression, and through the grace of God and faith, I’ve kept going. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be standing here in front of a star,” she said.
