Missy Elliott

<p>We&#8217;re days away from finding out who takes home the trophies <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/396491-2022-grammy-awards-list-of-nominees-and-winners-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">at the Grammys</a>. Los Angeles is already the hub of Hollywood, but it gets even more intense when hosting an award show. Parties, private events, and concerts leading up to the ceremony feature nominees and their equally famous peers. This week, the Grammys hosted the Black Music Collective dinner, where <a href="/profile/DoctorDre" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Dr. Dre</a>, Sylvia Rhone, Lil Wayne, and <a href="/profile/MissyElliott" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Missy Elliott</a> were honored.</p>



<p>According to <em>Rolling Stone</em>, the event also featured performances from 2 Chainz, Busta Rhymes, <a href="/profile/Ciara" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Ciara</a>, Snoop Dogg, Tweet, Chlöe, and more. Wayne delivered a moving speech where he said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t get honored where I&#8217;m from.&#8221; The Rap icon added,  “Where I’m from, In New Orleans, you’re not supposed to do this. We don’t get honored. I don’t know all of y’all tonight. Thank you. I ain’t sh*t without you.”</p>

<p>The tribute to Missy Elliott was also much-talked-about, as Mona Scott-Young, Ciara, <a href="/profile/Timbaland" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Timbaland</a>, and <a href="/profile/lizzo" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lizzo</a> honored the innovator. “This doesn’t get old to me. I’ve won a lot of awards and feel the same way,” said the hitmaker as she began to cry. “It hits different when you stand up here. We’ve been through a lot. I know Dre, Wayne, none of us<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/627416-questlove-to-curate-hip-hop-50-tribute-performance-at-2023-grammys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> rolled over into success</a>.”</p>



<p>There were additional music performances to honor Missy, including Tweet delivering her Elliott-assisted &#8220;Oops (Oh My)&#8221; and Ciara giving the crows &#8220;1, 2 Step.&#8221; Chlöe also sang the late Aaliyah&#8217;s classic &#8220;One in a Million,&#8221; and a clip was shared on social media.</p>

She also gave a nod to the women in Rap who helped pave the way before her, including Yo-Yo and MC Lyte. This is one of several honors that Missy has received in in recent years; she has a street named after her in her hometown and finally got a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/406061-ciara-and-lizzo-to-unveil-missy-elliotts-star-on-the-hollywood-walk-of-fame-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame</a>.</p>
