Class Clown 6c6iq
Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott (born Melissa Arnette Elliott) knew from the start that she wanted to be a performer, but her nonstop energy got her pegged as a class clown. But Missy knew she was destined for stardom—she even sang in her room to an audience of dolls using a broomstick microphone!
Missy had a rough childhood, but she was one smart cookie. She jumped two grades ahead, but she missed her old friends so Missy purposely flunked all her tests until she was put back in her old class!

Missy Says: 466z65
"I in school writing Michael Jackson and asking them to come get me out of class. I would imagine them running down the hall and asking my teacher, 'Ms. Daniels, can we get Missy out of class? We're here to see Missy.'”
“Music is a male-dominated field. Women are not always taken as seriously as we should be, so sometimes we have to put our foot down. To other people, that may come across as being a b****, but it's just knowing what we want and being confident."
