Missy Elliott has been putting in work within the music industry for a while and recently the awards and recognition have been rolling in for the hip hop star.
It’s now been announced that Missy will be receiving the Video Vangaurd Award at the 2019 VMAs, which are set to air August 26th.
For a long time fans have been lobbying for Missy Elliott to get the award, but until now it seemed as though MTV was not hearing the public’s request.
This award is definitely hard to come by for most entertainers, but we all know that Missy is well deserving. She’ll now join entertainers like Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, and Brittany Spears, who have all previously been awarded with the honor.
I a press release Bruce Gillmer, the head of music and music talent at Viacom and co-brand head at MTV International said, “Missy’s impact on the music landscape is incredible.” He also said “Her creative vision across production, performance and songwriting is unmatched.”
Well, he’s definitely not lying! So congrats Missy!!!
