Queen of Rap, Missy Elliott is bisexual and has accepted it. She is alleged to have been in a relationship with more women than men. Elliott said in 2008 that she wanted to start a family, but was afraid of giving birth, stating, “I don’t know if I can take that kind of pain. Maybe in the year 2020, you could just pop a baby out and it’d be fine. But right now I’d rather just adopt.

Elliott has been referred to as the “Queen of Rap”, the “Queen of Hip Hop”, and the “First Lady of Hip Hop” by several media outlets. Elliott’s experimental concepts in her music videos changed the landscape of what a hip-hop video had as a theme at the time. Her catalog of songs has included themes of feminism, gender equality, body positivity, and sex positivity since the beginning of her career, being one of the first to center on these topics among hip-hop and R&B performers.
