So happy this black queen is getting her flowers

[@sodachris3000]

Jason Charles facts. Sooooo many people slept on her after 2008. Like, I'm crying right now watching her try to keep it together.

[@moudiloulouisondominique750]

A lot of respect for Queen M.Elliott.

[@sdlock83]

Does it matter whether she's black, white, pink, or blue?!! Pointing out her race implies your belief that blacks are inherently incapable of great achievements and that when it does happens it should be considered UNUSUAL.

[@lanajeanvecchione9659]

She is so deserving yet so very humble.

[@kellykim3684]

Always seemed like a kind human being and extremely talented

[@AngryJoi]

She’s a GENIUS! I can’t!! 🔥 Congratulations Dr. Misdemeanor Elliot 💕 💗 💕

[@cyberianmanx1]

So eloquent. So poised. So happy for you. Thankful you have been recognized in such a rightous manner. Well-deserved. Take care and stay strong.

[@wthenor]

She deserves it. She did not need any bodily implant to have a successful career. The only implant she had was the talent that God gave her.

[@carolbeea]

Love her!! What an original. She made me cry.

[@maryluvsmusic9298]

carolbeea, omg! 😭😭😭

[@bt6079]

[@071oakland]

Congratulations Missy Elliott you are an example!!🍷😘⭐

[@BestHBCU]

What about her work in South Korea? There's no way KPop could be the billion dollar industry that it is without Missy Elliott. Another thing that must be said is the contribution that was made to hip hop. Hip hop has always been marginalized by the mainstream, declaring its own significance. Giving an honorary doctorate for Elliot's contribution to hip hop opens the door for other such honors and it upholds a standard. Although hip hop will always make its own way and speak for the marginalized, it is yet another contribution to the world that can no longer be ignored. Hip hop doesn't need Berklee to declare it or sanction it. It never did, but it's nice to be recognized.

[@terriw919fyi]

The Lion Queen TV did you watch his speech? He was so excited to be there with her it was cute

[@TINKERB121]

Uh Missy does not hate him. She did the remix to SexyBack, they collaborated on Timbaland’s Bounce and he was apart of her MTV Vanguard Award.

[@AT-sx2jp]

She is so amazing and so fucking humble. Seeing her be so grateful honestly made me cry.

[@emmanuelbaguma]

Another queen that owns the turf.

[@shelmi724]

Missy you look nice when you cry I love you but I also miss your songs and never see you on music channels I hope you come back

[@TiffanyLPennywell]

She has been doing a lot in the background and behind the scenes. She's done a lot in the Kpop industry as well. Look at the song she did with G Dragon from the kpop group Big Bang.

[@jernellrochelle2454]

The first two cd's I ever owned was Erykah Badu's "Baduism" and Missy Elliot's "Supa Dupa Fly." Those two bodies of music were not only a first for them, but for me too...it was the first time I was introduced to this thing called "Black Girl Magic." Those two iconic albums still get mad rotation in my Tidal to this day...I am so proud to be watching her trandcend...This is such an amazing accomplishment!

[@corneliusharris2955]

Was i the only one holding my breath before she went into the ugly cry. Luv U Missy❣️

[@champagnesupernova777]
