Melissa Arnet Elliott

It seems that Missy Elliott chose the words of the great Andy Warhol as the motto of her life. And she was right. The artist believed that all problems, including serious ones (my mother did not love in childhood; the husband does not feel attraction; the man succeeded, but is lonely), are solved with the help of the phrase: "So what?" Enduring bullying from her father in childhood and sexual abuse from her cousin in her youth, the woman managed to conquer the musical Olympus, release 6 platinum albums and become a superstar.

The first day of July in 1971 was marked by a joyful event for Ronnie and Patricia Elliott - at the Portsmouth military hospital they had their only daughter, who was named Melissa Arnett.

His mother worked as a dispatcher in an energy company, his father is a Marine, after retirement working as a welder at a shipyard. During the man's service, the family was in Jacksonville, where the girl learned the basics of singing in a church choir, and then returned to Virginia.

Melissa loved school, but not because of the lessons and the knowledge taught, but because of communication with friends. And although she was not particularly zealous in her studies, her natural talent made it possible to pass intellectual tests better than anyone, for which she was transferred 2 grades older. But such an alignment clearly did not suit Elliott, and she had to specially adjust the situation in order to come back.

The childhood of the titled rap singer can hardly be called simple. The head of the family was distinguished by a tough disposition and inclination to sadism - he often spread his hands, beat his wife and daughter, drove them naked into the street at gunpoint. One day, Patricia's patience ran out, and under the guise of a bus ride, she ran away from the tormentor with her child.

At the age of 8, rape by her own cousin was added to the girl's misfortunes. And although, according to the singer, this did not break her, for a long time nightmares haunted, where, screaming, innocent people died in the fire. However, the strength of the woman's spirit is also emphasized by the fact that after all she found the strength to communicate and help her father with money.

Music attracted Melissa from an early age, dolls were the first listeners. Driven by the dream of singing on the stage, one day, in despair, she wrote a letter to her idol - Michael Jackson and his sister Janet, with whom she later collaborated.

In her youth, the star met her future producer Timbaland, at that time a member of the band with Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. The band's creativity at first audition earned her heartfelt, enthusiastic comment.

First there was Fayze - a girl quartet performing r`n`b. And since all its members were close friends to each other, they later renamed themselves Sista. Their activity was to the liking of the Swing Mob label, which took the group under its wing - to work on creating songs for other artists as well as doing their own projects.

However, Elliott's solo work did not go well, her team broke up, and she herself plunged into producing.

And soon within one week there were calls from Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. At the initial stage, the girl was lucky to work with Aliya, Nicole, Destiny's Child, where Beyoncé is from. And later - with Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Katy Perry and other celebrities.

In 1997, in just 7 days, the extremely hardworking rapper released her premiere album. Further, one after another, other solo collections appeared, invariably acquiring a platinum tint.

Among the five deserved Grammys, two are for the best performance of Get Ur Freak On and the video for the hit Lose Control, where Ciara also starred. In 2015, the singer delighted numerous fans with the news that she was preparing to record her seventh studio album, Block Party.

In the same year, the single I'm Better saw the light, the video for which she tried to make a work of art, and not just shots replacing each other with singing. However, cinema is not alien to the rapper even now: she played in episodes of feature-length films and TV series.

Show business is a harsh thing. He does not admit secrets and prefers to bring out the secret moments of his personal life for public viewing, guided by the simple rule of "show everything that is hidden." This fate was not spared, of course, and the super popular Missy Elliott.

The African-American woman was credited with many novels with representatives of both her gender and the opposite. The list of the most enduring assumptions: Olivia Longott, Carrin Steffans, Nicole, 50Cent and even a friend of his youth Timbaland. But none of these rumors were confirmed. In 2018, they started talking about Missy in the context of her alleged relationship with Ava Marsill Pigford, to which the latter had to make an official statement about the falsity of the disseminated information.

It is known for certain that the legend of female rap is not married and has no children, and what he absolutely prefers is exotic first-class cars and houses.

In 2014, the fans were amazed: their favorite has noticeably lost weight (height 157 cm, weight 57 kg). This is due to health problems, an ultimatum put forward by doctors and a forced diet.

In the summer of 2018, the media found out that Missy was busy recording a joint track with Skrillex, but no release date was announced. But in the same year the premiere of the hit took place with Basta Rhimes and Kelly Rowland, then with Ariana Grande, then with Ciara and Fatman Scoop.

In January 2019, Lizzo presented a collaboration with Missy. Then the good news came - Melissa, the first among hip-hoppers, was honored to enter the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The singer loves covers of her own compositions and often uploads them to Instagram, along with personal photos from concerts, rehearsals and rest, however, refraining from candid pictures in a swimsuit. And the woman used Twitter as a field for verbal showdowns with Nicki Minaj in 2017.
