Missy Elliott is being honored with a street renaming in her hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia, according to local reports. The Portsmouth city council unanimously voted to rename a portion of its McLean Street after the artist, to pay tribute to her massive accomplishments and also to enhance its newly rezoned entertainment district.
It’s an honor that wasn’t lost on the star. “Thank you @iamerincarter for initiating me having a street in my name in my hometown VA!
