With Missy Elliott‘s career resurrected overnight thanks to the Super Bowl, everyone is excited about a comeback from the legendary rap artist. Her songs are charting at the top of iTunes, a legion of kids are discovering her music for the first time and her Spotify streams have exponentially went up since the big game.
Sway In The Morning got Missy on the phone to talk about the buzz that is currently brewing and how she feels about the kids thinking she’s a new artist. She’s humbled by the love she’s received, especially from Katy Perry, who could have picked any artist in the world, but chose her. She even revealed that her nerves were getting the best of her up until the performance, praying all the way to the stage.
On the music side, Missy also let the cat out of the bag and said she’s getting into the studio with Timbaland this weekend. For what? We’ll find out soon enough!
