Missy Elliott Celebrates Her 24 Year Friendship With Janet Jackson  

Missy Elliott paid tribute to Janet Jackson and their decades-long friendship with a sweet Instagram tribute. 

On Wednesday (Jun. 8), Missy shared a video of the pair and explained, “Y’all don’t have a friend like I’ve got.” 

Missy Elliott then took to the caption to let her followers know just how much Janet Jackson means to her. 

“For the last 2 years I’m sure like for many it was really emotionally draining,” Missy Elliott admitted. “Going from being outside to being isolated from family & friends. Well the other day @janetjackson & I was chopping it up on the phone & I spoke about how I missed everyone & how this year I wanted to make sure I see her & she casually said I’ll fly to where you are on the 5th. Well honestly I didn’t think much of it just because she is my friend for 24 years she is still Ms. Jackson if you NASTY & stay BOOKED & BUSY since 7 years old be VERY CLEAR😩😆😂” 

She continued to give Janet Jackson her flowers. “But sure enough the 5th came & she text me & said I’m here😭 I began to tear up because she flew all the way from LONDON & spent two days with me & we cut up & laughed for 2 days straight! I sure needed that just to laugh & feel at peace🙏🏾Jj I Love you til Earth is No More!
