In her comeback interview with Billboard Missy Elliott declares “Breaking news, there is only one Missy,” and it’s true. Missy is basically patient zero of all that is cool in this world — but let’s stop and give proper credit to the origin of all that awesome juju: her mom.

Today, Elliott owns six houses (“two in Virginia, two in Miami, one in New Jersey and one in Atlanta”) and a world-class collection of exotic cars (including a Ferrari her mom drives to church, very slowly).
