Iconic rapper Missy Elliott decided to spread some positivity on Twitter, and everyone was here for it.
“You may be feeling a lil depressed because everything you been trying to do is taking so long to happen… Don’t give up on your IDEAS or your VISION just KEEP WORKING & when the TIME IS RIGHT everything will ALIGN up for you & you will be HAPPY you didn’t Give up,” the “Work It” rapper wrote.

The tweet was received well among social media users who mostly responded by saying how much they needed to hear some words of encouragement.
Daily affirmations are the key. Turning a negative thought into a positive thought instantly will open the doorway that you think is sealed shut. https://t.co/Mesi8WBSPv

The “Get Ur Freak On” rapper has always been a source of motivation through her longstanding sex-positive and body-positive lyrics.
In 2019, the MTV Video Vanguard Award winner teamed up with another body-positive icon, Lizzo, for their track “Tempo,” which encapsulates the self-love that the two continue to stand for.
