Missy Elliot will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame during its June 13 awards ceremony in New York City, the organization said—making her the first female hip-hop artist to achieve this honor, according to CBS News.
The Virginia native, 47, began her career in the all-female group Sista in the early 1990s, will be inducted in a ceremony this summer along with the likes of Cat Stevens, John Prine, Tom T. Hall, Jack Tempchin and Dallas Austin.
'I want to CONGRATULATE ALL THE AMAZING Songwriter who have been inducted into the 2019 'Song Writers Hall of Fame,' an excited Elliott tweeted.
Elliott said: 'also those who were nominated because their body of work is amazing. I AM SO HUMBLY GRATEFUL to now be inducted... also I love you all.
Elliott will also be the third rapper to enter into the Songwriters Hall, following Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri's inductions in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
