Since her debut video for 'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)' in 1997, where she sported an inflated trash bag with confidence and charisma, Elliott has been a powerhouse on the music video scene with an oddball, eccentric and creative style that’s inspired generations after her.


Her upcoming performance on the VMA stage will mark her first since 2003. Elliott became the first female rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame earlier this year.
