MISSY ELLIOTT RECOGNIZED WITH CONGRESSIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL HONORS

AUGUST 2 DECLARED “OUT OF THIS WORLD TOUR DAY” IN HAMPTON, VA

LOS ANGELES — Missy Elliott continues to skyrocket with first-ever recognitions during her history-making debut headline tour, OUT OF THIS WORLD — The Missy Elliott Experience. The Portsmouth, VA, native was honored once again as a hometown hero during her stop at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA, on Friday, Aug. 2.

“It would be a crime — a ‘Misdemeanor’! — not to recognize you, and to thank you for all you’ve done, not only with the fame and fortune, but giving back to the community,” said Congressman Bobby Scott, United States Congress, VA 3rd Congressional District, who presented her with a Congressional Certificate Of Community Service from the United States Congress, commending her for her continued support in the community. Additionally, Hampton Mayor Donnie Tuck declared August 2 as “Out of This World Tour Day” in the City of Hampton and Delegate Don Scott, Speaker of the House of Delegates, presented her with a resolution for her first arena tour. Elliott was previously recognized by October 17 being proclaimed “Missy Elliott Day” in Portsmouth, VA – in addition to a street being named after her and receiving a key to the city (2022).

About her hometown concert experience, Variety praised, “The show is a staggering spectacle: an immersive, interactive experience.” With a setlist jam-packed of four acts spanning Elliott’s 30-year career, the superstar bill also marked a standout moment for mega producer Timbaland. Hailing from Norfolk, VA, Elliott’s longtime collaborator and friend since high school, called special attention to his DJ – his son Demetrius – and premiered a new song called “Love Again (feat. Alejandro).”

Also on Aug. 2, Elliott appeared on Nightline for a full episode with ABC News’ Megan Ryte, dedicated to OUT OF THIS WORLD — The Missy Elliott Experience.
