On the heels of Busta Rhymes receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 BET Awards, his “beautiful twin”—Missy Elliott—is giving him his well-deserved flowers online!
The “Work It” rapper acknowledged Busta Rhymes in a recent Instagram post.
The upload consisted of a video, which featured Missy speaking on how Busta “brought timeless music, creativity, [and] visuals” throughout his career. However, she acknowledged, “Busta’s heart is always the thing that stood out.”
Continuing to laud his artistry, Missy announced that her “favorite Busta verse” is from “Touch It,” as she “hadn’t heard that kinda style from Busta.” We should add that Missy hopped on the track’s remix with artists like Mary J. Blige and DMX.
Missy Elliott also encouraged others to “give more flowers to Busta Rhymes.” However, she expressed that she doesn’t think there are “enough bouquets for all that [he has] done.”
“We should give more flowers to Busta Rhymes. I don’t think there’s enough bouquets for all that you have done.”
Wrapping up, Missy proclaimed, “I am honored to call you my brother. I love you—I love you with all my heart. Congratulations!”
The video was accompanied by a lengthy caption highlighting how Missy and Busta “have been glued at the hip for 26 years.”
After speaking fondly of Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott congratulated him on his award and wished him “many more.” She also noted that while he’s killin’ the game, his heart “is at the TOP of any chart.”
“To my Twin @bustarhymes we have been glued at the hip for 26 years & my LOVE & ADMIRATION for you still grows I am still in aww over your ART & your MUSIC but most of all your HEART is at the TOP of any chart! Love you bro and CONGRATULATIONS on your Lifetime Achievement award & many more to come.”
She finished by proclaiming, “Thank you for the TIMELESS MUSIC & CLASSIC VISUALS you’ve shared with the WORLD.”
In response to Missy’s upload, Busta hopped into the comment section with a warm message of his own. He wrote that he’s “forever grateful” to his “beautiful twin,” whom he “greatly appreciate[s].”
“I LOVE YOU BEYOND DESCRIPTION MY BEAUTIFUL TWIN. I’M FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE AND BECAUSE YOU ARE SO GREATLY APPRECIATED BY ME AND BY SO MANY.”
