As a gamer who grew up in the golden age of hip-hop, this news about Missy Elliott‘s record-breaking concert earnings has sent me back to my boombox days with a nostalgic jolt. I remember blasting “Get Ur Freak On” and “Work It” during late-night gaming sessions, feeling like the undisputed ruler of the virtual world.
Missy Elliott solidifies her status as a rap legend in the hip-hop industry through her latest accomplishment. Remarkably, she’s now one of only three rappers to earn more than $2 million USD from a single performance.
Earlier last week, Touring Data posted, “@MissyElliott is officially the third female rapper to gross over $2 million in a single concert in US history, joining #DojaCat and #NickiMinaj.” In another post, its data found, “@MissyElliott earned her highest grossing concert of all-time on August 8, 2024, with $2.050 million at Capital One Arena in Washington as part of the ‘Out of this World Tour.'”
The highly anticipated tour was initially announced in April, marking her debut as a headliner. Accompanied by Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland, she embarked on this journey. During the tour, Lil Kim made special appearances to perform their hits “The Jumpoff” (2003) and “Not Tonight (Ladies Night)” (1997). This 24-city extravaganza commenced in Vancouver and concluded on August 22 in Rosemont, Illinois. Missy Elliott, renowned for some of the biggest hits in hip-hop, has produced music across six studio albums over the years. In the early 2000s, she was one of the brightest stars, with tracks such as “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” and “Lose Control” becoming iconic tunes of the era.
