Missy Elliott Responds To Angry Fans Over Weight Loss

My common is about Missy Elliott losing weight. She is not saying being over weight or extremely overweight you can't be happy or you have to think like other people think of fat people. She wasn't trying to come off by losing the weight as if you get to big you should not feel good about yourself and change how you look for others to accept you look at the late Rapper Notourious Big He was a Big Guy but people look beyond that and look how he express himself and he spoke the truth about his life and what he experience and people felt him regardless of his shape and size. Missy Elliott lost weight because she was unhappy at the amount of weight she weigh at the time and she knew she had to do something about it cause they are health risks involve when your become so enormous and youc an feel on top of the world cause you have a career and making money but when it comes to your health and the risk of getting diseases and dying its more important to get healthier. Those who have a problem about it is because they are unhappy with themself and need to reflecting how they see themself onto others everyone is different and everyone has there own personal reasons for what they do so we must not judge others. Missy Elliott is doing her thing we should be supporting her music career instead of looking down upon her we are all human just because she is a music icon doesn't mean she doesn't live like we do we all have problems we all breathe the same so let the women breath.

I don't know why some of her fans would be angry. I personally think that Missy looks good either way. And think about it, maybe she just wanted to change. I mean, who hasn't? Right?

I believe that losing weight is a personal choice and something one does for oneself either for the sake of their physical or emotional health or both.If Missy chose to lose weight whatever the reason we should applaude her because it takes effort,committment and discipline to achieve that kind of result.
The sad reality is that regardless who we are we only have one life. The body is our medium of existence in the world and if we don't take care of the body we die.I think Missy Elliott is setting a positive example for many people (like me) who are trying to lose weight and make healthier food and lifestyle choices.

For the those people who are angry about Missy losing the weight:

1. Stop being haters - real fans should be supportive of her decision, not criticizing her.

2. Try following her lead for health reasons - I myself am overweight and am looking to her as a role model for getting me motivated to do the same.

3. Get a life!

missy needed to lose weight for many reasons. i myself cant see why someone would get mad over the fact she lost weight,my guess is there's overweight people who look up to her for being who she is they felt as though she was'nt trying to change herself to fit in the mainstream or she did'nt care what any one thought of her weight. there's nonthing wrong with being proud of who you are but when it comes down to health issues and weight is associated with it,thats when it becomes essential for us to make changes in our lives.

I love the way missy looks and she has inspired me to lose weight as well!! She looks awesome!!

GOOD JOB MISSY those of you that are mad, thats just wrong..

Wadup Home gurl , Miss ! Loved em brownies. Keep doin ur thang ma .
Much luv Atcha.

ok well, has anyone seen her in her new video "loose control" when was the last time missy showed her legs? NEVER, she looks great and i also know she did it b/c she was in risk of diabetis and and im sure she wanted to look good like in her new video!!! lol
so why be mad? if ur fat, u know ud wanna be or thinner than u r now. like me... lol

Missy Elliot is a great role model for everyone. The reason she lost weight is to live longer and feel good about herself and that is something everyone should be doin instead of hating. She has always looked good and has always been a fantastic artist. Those who are hatin' need to get a life

I love Missy Elliot and her music. I think it's great she took control of her life for the sake of her health. And everyone should respect her for wanting to change her life for the better. Missy congrats on the weight loss and keep doing your thing. But there is one thing. I would love to know the secret.

Missy is the WOMAN!!! she can rap/dance... Fans are "angry" that shes losing weight? HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAA... what retards they are... go on with your bad self Missy.. keep doing your thang...

I'm happy for her, because many big people get sick of being big. Once being told by a doctor that you can die early or get health problems if you don't lose it kinda hurts. People can say what they want but its most likely because like "CJC" said its haters, if you were really fans you would be supportive and happy for her. As a big girl myself I know exactly how she be feeling and if a doctor if even myself wanted to do that to know it make myself happier and healthy I would. I look up to her for what she doing. She's an awesome role model. So I hope she keeps it up and shows all the people that doubted her.

I'm proud of Missy with loosing weight. Everyone that does not agree with this should look at the bigger picture. Being overweight can lead to numerous health problems and for someone to commit to loosing the weight is great. The only thing that I have a problem with is in her video loose control when she was dancing in the shorts it looked like her head was on someone elses body. I think that is a sign that she is ashamed of her body and thats not cool. One of the reasons that I like Missy so much is because she has never been afraid to be herself no matter what size she is. People love her if she is a size 2 or 22. No matter what she has major talent and that outshines her physical appearance.

why are people mad..

I can't speak for the others but I'm not mad at her I just don't agree with her putting her head on someone elses body like it is hers.

Whats the big deal? She lost weight and people are upset by it? Okay thats a first, normally people would be happy about someone losing weight but upset? Come on now, thats retarded!

She lost weight cuz she didnt want to look like Memin Pinguin's mother, pinche negra!

I think she looks great! don't hate her... it's just not right!

goog job missy ... but how did u loose wieght?

Hey Fano's!

This is for everyone to see including missy (if she actually has time to read these rediculas comments) MISSY LOOKS GREAT! SOUNDS GREAT! who cares why or how she lost weight..I lost weight to. anyone care? No? didnt think so..keep up the great work missy,..you kick ass gurl!

MISSY IS MY IDOL AND I HAVE LOOKED UP TO HER SINCE SHE CAME OUT, AND I CANT HATE ON HER FOR LOSING THE WEIGHT I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW SHE DID IT OR WHAT SHE ATE. RIGHT NOW IM TRYIN TO LOSE AND SHE IS MY MOTIVATION TO DO SO...THOSE THAT ARE MAD IS ONLY MAD AT THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY CANT LOSE IT LIKE THEY WANT TO AND FIGURE MISSY IS LEAVING US BIG GIRLS TO ROLL WITH THE SMALLER GIRLS BUT ITS NOTHING BUT HEALTH REASONS. THE ONLY U CAN LOSE IT IS IF U THINK AS IF UR AT RISK AND MOTIVATE URSELF TO LOSE IT THATS WHAT IM DOIN AND I'LL UPDATE U ALL ON MY SUCCESS..DONT THINK IM HUGE OR NOTHIN I AM A THICK GIRL BUT NOT HEAVY HEAVY IM STILL BEAUTIFUL BUT I RATHER BE AT A GOOD WEIGHT THEN TO BE AT A RISK WEIGHT....

I can't understand why people, are hateing missy elliott well I think she looks great evening better than befor and she giveing me some hope that you can lost weight,because I have be trying to lose weight for years, and fine it very hard, so I say good on you missy you go fore and just shine like a star as you are,and just be happy and feeling free being the new you, you go girl your a winner.

Not all overweight people are happy or proud of being that way, and I'm guessing Missy Elliot was one of those people. I was once pretty heavy and I lost weight for health reasons and now I look great. So I say what's wrong with wanting to drop pounds and get healthy? I'm proud of her.

yo missy i just wrote 2 tel u to go your thing. if your fans really die over u i think they have no reason to get mad over u losing weight. they are just some haters b/c respecting 2 ur life.u missy s my favorite singer 4 life GO MISSY GO SHOW THEM WAT U WANT FOR U NOT THEM

Look i was reading the comments and someone cursed you out in spanish and they just hating

What you did losing weight was heroic. You are anyone's role model. They should stop hating. All hispanics are not the same. Well not me. so keep it going and anyone dont hate, Respect her decison is her life and she look HOT! Nice music.

Why does it matter about her weight It is her life not yours and her business!!!!!!!!!111

I believe that in order to live healthy and properly you have to maintain a healthy weight. That is exactly what Missy wanted to do. I don't believe it had anything to do with the perception of her through the eyes of others..or the image that the female should portray in the industry. I personally believe that all of this nonsense is ridiculous. I think that Missy made the right decision to want to live healthy.

Many thoughts that lead to one word; inspiration, role model, greatest rapper, beauty that continues to grow from the starting point past present and future...It took God 6 days to create the heavens and the earth, and all things that was in it...And then one day he made you!Love Always #1 Fan Autumn...From KY!

I think it is okay if she lost wieght. That is her choice. We should respect that.

People get upset when Black women lose weight because everyone wants to think of us as their mammy. Missy, you go, girl. I'm jealous.

i find that missy do have her reasons why she lost weight and i dont care if she was fat or thin i like her anyhow. And as a matter of fact she do look good and she could do alot mo stuff like that. Missy girl u do ur thang i'm happy how u look and i no u are so dont be bothering ur head with other ppl about wha they have to say about u cuz u no ur rocking it :P

I think missy looks good becuz of her wieght loss i mean she ain't tryna be supper skinny or anything at least she isn't fat right so people should just shut up she looks good so ya! dont be hatin!

from your ! and only fan
