Missy Elliott’s Weight Loss Transformation Is Inspiring: See Before and After Photos of the Rapper

Work it! Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot has trailblazed through the hip-hop industry and proven to become not only one of the best female rappers but one of the best rappers to ever grace the music industry. Over the years, her music style has transformed and so has her appearance. Missy has undergone a drastic weight loss journey that stemmed from an illness.

In 2011, the “Get Ur Freak On” artist shared that she had been living with Graves’ Disease for the past three years – an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid and hindered her motor skills. While trying to gain control over the disease, Missy began focusing on her health and started “managing the condition through diet and exercise,” according to People.

While the Grammy winner hasn’t been vocal about her health and fitness journey, she has shared how an improved diet helped her overall health via Instagram in May 2018.

Missy added, “NOW the other thing if I can only cut out JUNK FOOD. S–t that’s my weakness #Facts But if I can give up those other things I’ll fight that too! Maybe two cupcakes a month.”

“The Rain” musician became a Doritos partner in January 2023, while teasing a Super Bowl commercial with rapper Jack Harlow via Instagram that premiered the following month. Missy slayed in a grey and black Versace suit while her skin was glowing brightly.
