Missy Elliott finally received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to the culture.
She was joined by Lizzo, Ciara, and Mona Scott Young at the ceremony on November 8th outside of the legendary Amoeba Records, located on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California.
During her acceptance speech, Missy shouted out all the artists keeping the female presence in rap strong. But she gave a “big shout out” to the godmothers of Hip Hop.
“I can kind of give this to my female MCs in Hip Hop, to my sisters in Hip Hop. I wanna say I love each and everyone of y’all. The ones that’s popping now, the ones that’s about to be popping,” said Missy Elliott. “But I want to give a big, big shoutout to the godmothers of this, and that is Queen Latifah, Monie Love, [MC] Sha-Rock, Angie Stone, Roxanne Shanté, Yo-Yo, MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa.”
She continued, “I know I’m probably missing some, but all of y’all who started before me. Because y’all are the backs that we stand on. Y’all are the foundation, and y’all ran so we could walk. Y’all stood up for something so we could sit comfortably, so I thank y’all for this moment.”
While accepting her star, Missy Elliott spoke about how important it was that she persevered:
