And after nearly two decades in show business, during which she became the only female rapper to have six albums certified platinum, Missy Elliott is preparing to tell her life story in a forthcoming film.

The “Get Your Freak On” hit-maker, had a lot of controversy in her younger years – she was repeatedly raped by an older cousin from the age of eight and saw her mother being abused by her father, who pulled a gun on the pair on one occasion.

Check out Missy’s cameo in Ciara’s new “Work” video.

According to eurweb.com, Missy says:”It’s happening; I’ve just got to find a great writer because I wouldn’t want my story watered down. I went through a lot, and I accomplished a lot, and I want people to know how it all went down.”

Take a look at Missy over the years:

    Missy is multitalented. I look forward to this movie.

    Her Sun conjunct Uranus will ensure that this will be a very “different” type of movie….

    I am not surprised; Missy is a survivor. Her attitude, drive and determination makes it obvious that she has overcome MANY stumbling blocks and adversities. I would love to help her write her story, as it is very important for people in general, but black women especially. We need to be reminded of our innate resilience and will to achieve.

    Well although some may not want to see it and do not care guess what they don’t have to , everyone has an opinion whether right , wrong , sensible or irrelevant.

    I think some do movies like this for the young girls, people who are going through it who have been through it & think their life is over that they are damaged goods or there is no help/hope for them her story to someone little girl or boy let’s them see that You arent damaged , there is quality life after the abuse, you can do something great because greatness is still in you no one can take that from you .

    It is really easy for those of you who only have tunnel vision to only think of her movie as another way to make money ,that it is only for entertainment . The woman has money , and with it she is reaching out on another level to not just reach a few hundred but millions who could be experiencing the same type of thing . I applaud her this black woman for being triumphant , for refusing to be a victim who could have chosen to resort to a life of petty crime and drugs but she chose to make something of her self and give back despite of what a sicko took from her .

    This is not for entertainment it is sending a message some of you may not get it right away , and some of you never will .

    I bet you will support a demonic movie, scary movie, fictional movie, do you complain when other races come out with a movie based on their lives? If you’re tired of her true story be tired of the things that just don’t make sense like how more and more demonic movies are out but people race to see that , you tune in to watch a lot of mess some of you w/ o a message but hmmm i wonder do you complain about that or are you tired, Im tired of children getting abused and raped and not enough people , OUR people are speaking up on it enough .

    Im tired of people being tired of sensible things but embracing garbage . I am tired of people down playing those who are doing something instead of saying “good job”, I am tired of people wasting money on rims, expensive clothes,cars , jewelery , etc..instead of investing in themselves .

    Now this is all my opinion its mine just as yours is yours , you may not have liked something I said but at the end of the day I still said it .

    Stay Blessed and be safe .
