Missy Elliott is sharing a heartfelt message with her fans after achieving another historic milestone in her legendary career.

The hip-hop icon has officially become the first female rapper to release six consecutive platinum-certified studio albums, a record that further cements her status as one of the most influential artists in music history. Following the announcement, Elliott took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her gratitude, thanking fans who have stood by her throughout each era of her journey. “So grateful for everyone who supported each album,” she wrote, pairing the message with a series of celebratory and thankful emojis that reflected her joy and appreciation.

Fans and fellow artists quickly flooded the platform with praise, celebrating Elliott’s groundbreaking achievement and recognizing the impact she has had on hip-hop culture. One viral post highlighted the historic nature of the accomplishment, calling Elliott a true icon and “the greatest of all time,” sentiments echoed across social media.

Elliott’s recent success builds on an already remarkable run of accolades. Last year, she made history again by becoming one of the first two rappers ever to receive the prestigious National Medal of Arts, one of the highest cultural honors in the United States. She attended the White House ceremony alongside Queen Latifah, where both artists were among 30 honorees recognized for their contributions to American art and culture.

Following the ceremony, Elliott shared an emotional recap online, describing herself as “humbly grateful” and admitting she was moved to tears. Reflecting on her journey, she spoke candidly about moments of doubt and struggle, crediting faith and perseverance for carrying her forward. She also extended her thanks to President Joe Biden and congratulated the other honorees who received the award.

Elliott went on to give special praise to Queen Latifah, calling her a trailblazer who helped open doors for future generations of women in hip-hop. She thanked Latifah for paving the way and acknowledged the lasting influence of her achievements.

With record-breaking albums, historic honors, and an enduring legacy of innovation, Missy Elliott continues to redefine what success looks like in hip-hop—while never losing sight of the fans and fellow artists who helped shape her extraordinary career.
