According to reports, Missy’s Super Bowl performance immediately brought more attention to her streaming music.

Elliott’s performance of the hit songs Lose Control, Get Ur Freak On and Work It had viewers rushing to Spotify to stream the music. From 7 p.m. to midnight ET on Sunday, Elliott’s streams showed an overall increase of 676%, with Lose Control increasing 1,396%, according to Spotify. (USA Today)

Elliott joined pop diva Katy Perry on-stage and performed her early 2000’s hit “Get Ur Freak On” at the University of Phoenix.

When Perry launched into “Teenage Dream,” dancing beach balls, surfboards, sharks and even palm trees joined her on stage. Then Missy Elliott had a surprise cameo and sang, “Get Ur Freak on” Perry finished the show with an explosive rendition of “Firework” and it was explosive — with plenty of fireworks taking flight outside the stadium.

  1. Been off the scene for about 10yrs. then pop up at the Super Bowl half time show to over 100 million viewers ….. anybody stocks would rise after that ……
    Plus, that’s hands down THE greatest come back in Hip Hop history! #Facts

  2. i cant take missy seriously anymore with all that different coloured weave she rocks at 43 . . wtf she representing.

      • so she been in the game more or less 20yrs n all she wanna do is have fun . . aint she had enough fun already? who has she put on successfully in the game? how is she helping the youth of today? what does she stand for? im all for fun but sometimes you gotta grow up!

        • oh so i guess nikki minaj and young thug is helping out the youth huh……you got a lot of hate in your blood.

          • ha ha young thug came in the game last yr n nicki been around what 4/5yrs? missy been around for two decades . . made her dough n had her run . . you cant compare the artists you just mentioned. nah no hate over here . . just calling it as i see it.

          • Lmao! You mad because Nicki’s too busy sucking Meek Mills DICK hoping he’ll ghostwrite her next album. And she already stole & swagger jacked everything she could from Lil’ Kim, so now she’s lost and hopeless with her so called rap career. Bwahahahahah!

          • I have a BSBA. Why don’t you put your Barbies down and go to school, son! Bwahahaha

          • Did you have your lollipop too when you squatted in front of the mirror little girl? Bwahahaha

          • You’re the one who is trying to drag the Legendary Missy Elliott down because Stinky Miraj got busted for having a ghostwriter her whole career!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A FRAUD !!!!!! LMFAO !!!!

        • Ginuine, aaliyah,jasmine sullivan….wrote for jodeci, Mary j., monica, ciara and many more

          • i said put on not wrote or produced for . . to my knowledge she put on tweet n jazmine sullivan n they both flopped.

          • she put them on.. either way. it was in their hands what they do with their fame. the biggest new artist misconception is they feel the artist who put them on should be responsible for their success. so if they flop they point the blame if they on top they give all praises. wtf.

          • Tweet didn’t flop. Tweet had a platinum single and a gold debut album. How is that a flop? Jasmine Sullivan is on her third album. You don’t make it that far if your first album flopped, homes.

    • She’s an entertainer performing songs that are for dancing and having fun ….. what’s to be taken serious here?!
      Dude, stop complaining for the sake of complaining ……. smh

  3. Can yall do a little journalistic work and get me the name and where to buy that track suit she had on……thanks in advance!!!!

  4. missy is the saver of the hiphop flavor,,thats always been her lane,,so that young’uns coming in the game can see you don’t have to sell ass or pose as a super gangster/dealer to be successful,,,and her track record in the biz is ridiculous
