Missy Elliott Opens Up About Her New Music: "There's No One Like Missy — No One"
![On her success: "I was just going, going, going. It wasn't resonating what was happening. After I did the Super Bowl [in 2015], my friends called me and they are like, 'So, what you about to do?' I'm here mopping my floor, and I got to wash the dogs. And they are like, 'What? You just finished doing the Super Bowl.' And the same thing happened . . . I was in the car with Michelle Obama [for Carpool Karaoke in 2016], and they called me like, 'Girl, we got to celebrate; that's huge!' And I'm like, 'I'm watching a movie on Netflix.' Now that I've had a chance to slow down, I look back at stuff, and I look back at my 'She's a B*tch' video [1999], and at the time I didn't even think about it. But I look at it now and I'm like, 'This is still so many years ahead.'"](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/_ZJxvp3picNWe3wuhO9i3fcQRw4/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/07/15/739/n/1922283/1fb993026eca0fc0_MCX080119Fe_Coverstory_004_wm/i/her-success-I-just-going-going-going.jpg "On her success: \"I was just going, going, going.
