Sunday night the world was reminded that Missy Elliott is supa dupa fly.
The rapper performed at Super Bowl XLIX, showcasing some of her epic hits from the early 2000s, and in turn, upstaged Katy Perry's bubblegum shark-fest of a performance. While half the population had no idea who this funky, queen of the ballon suit was -- kids these days -- the rest of us wondered why we ever stopped listening to "Work It" on repeat.
Wow...kids don't know their music history. #MissyElliot A photo posted by Wilhite Webster (@lacastrophe) on Feb 1, 2015 at 6:13pm PST
But now that Missy's iTunes numbers are sky rocketing, and the youths of the world have learned how to get their freak on, Missy is adorably celebrating her comeback on Twitter.
