Rap veteran Missy Elliott is making her long-awaited music comeback after treating fans to an unexpected New York performance this week.
Missy raised eyebrows after showing her slimmed down body at a Thursday (October 16) night Alexander Wang H&M Collection launch party.
After losing a reported 70 pounds, Elliott proudly flaunted her frame, fittingly sporting a baseball cap which read, “You can’t workout with us.” Despite her baggy sweatshirt, Elliott’s weight loss could not be concealed as her face was noticeably slimmed down and clearly, she’s proud of her frame, placing her hands on her hips and grinning from ear to ear in the skinny shot, which was uploaded to her Twitter page.

Over the summer, mega producer Timbaland said he was working alongside Elliott for her follow-up to 2005’s The Cookbook.
“It’s coming,” the rapper’s longtime producer and songwriting partner tells Rolling Stone. “It’s on her. She got the first single, it’s just a matter of when she wants to do it. We got the hollow-tip bullet in the gun. We have the game-changer right there,” he says, making the sound of a gun firing. Asked what that bullet sounds like, Timbaland remains vague: “It’s something you ain’t never heard Missy do. It sounds today, but the future.” (Rolling Stone)
In an interview last winter, Missy killed the retirement speculation and admitted her lack of music stemmed from needing motivation.
In a video chat with Yahoo!’s “The Yo Show,” Missy discussed her lengthy hiatus from the music industry. “When I create something, it’s gotta be special and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy,” said the 42-year-old rapper. “I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100 percent and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.” (Rap-Up)
Weight loss is a common symptom of Grave’s Disease though
