Missy Elliott Trash Bag… We Mean Suit! Elliott FINALLY Speaks On It

Arianne July 16, 2019July 16, 2019

FUN FACT: Go to Google and start typing ” Missy Elliott Trash Bag ” in the search; and you are going to come across a FLURRY of images of Missy in one of her most iconic looks. Seriously, try it (Lol).

You won’t even be able to finish typing it in before it pops up. Which means, there are a lot of beings out there who grew up; or still believe Missy got down in her music video for her single, The Rain, in a Hefty trash bag. But, did she?

Sorry the y’all, the myth is over. Like officially, officially over. For years, Elliott has done her best to let the people know the truth. However, the trash bag theory has always been able to live on.

Nevertheless, on Twitter a fan piped up about the “trash bag” fit and Missy actually answered! This is what occurred between the two:

Fan Tweet: “22 years later and I still don’t know why she was in a black trash bag but the song is still fire.”

Missy Elliott Tweet: “Lol it was never a trash bag it was a patent leather blow up suit [winking emoji]. And why was I in that? I don’t know [laughing emojis] cuz I’m Missy.”

Missy Elliott Trash Bag… We Mean Suit! Elliott FINALLY Speaks On It

Yes, Missy has always had a style all her own. An aspect of her career that still sets her apart from all other Emcees. Nonetheless, don’t let her coy response on Twitter fool you. Back in the day when Elliott dropped The Rain video; there was a very good reason why she wore the blow up suit.

In 2017, Missy hit up ELLE magazine about it in an exclusive interview. In regards to her black bodysuit style she told ELLE,

“To me, the outfit was a way to mask my shyness behind all the chaos of the look. Although I am shy, I was never afraid to be a provocative woman. The outfit was a symbol of power.

I loved the idea of feeling like a hip hop Michelin woman. I knew I could have on a blow up suit and still have people talking. It was bold and different. I’ve always seen myself as an innovator and a creative unlike any other.”

Till this day, Missy still is able to get people talking about her and her music. A testament to her sound and vibe being classic and timeless in every sense. Right now, Marie Claire is paying homage to Missy’s career as she covers this August issue. Inside Elliott talks about longevity and the real ups and downs of the music industry when you are in the spotlight.

Made props to Missy for leading the way and pack for females in the hip hop realm; and for speaking out on a look; that is truly one of BIGGEST and BADDEST fashion statements in music video history!

However, just this week, sneaker heads and Cardi fans were treated to a little sneak peek; proving that the Cardi B x Reebok collab is in fact about to be on and in full effect!

Cardi B x Reebok – The Hot New Deal Bringing Shoes and Apparel!

In a very teasing manner the Reebok, Reebok Classic and Cardi B social platforms released a Boomerang gif of Cardi in a new shoe; with a caption advertising the “Cardi-bok.” For those, who wanted additional information, the pages served up a link to the Reebok website with the promise of finding out more.

SAVE YOURSELF A CLICK (Lol). It’s a total clickbait and you will not even find as much as paragraph with a description of the upcoming collaboration. NEVERTHELESS, what you will find if interested is a sign up page to be the first to find out more about the upcoming Cardi sneaker.

Signing up is simple and no different than most brands. All it requires is you name, email address and birth date. Fill it out and you will be “in the know.”

As one can see, details currently are quite scarce but word on the street is that 26-year-old Cardi will have a hand in helping to resurrect and promote the brand’s “Aztrak” design. Also, do you like that track suit Cardi is rocking? Well, you soon you could be adding to your closet because the Reebok partnership also promises new apparel.

This is certainly a good look for Cardi B as the race for rap dominance continues to be a hot topic. Cardi joins the ranks of Missy Elliott, Pharrell, and Beyoncé hubby Jay Z as artists who have inked a deal with Reebok. Moreover, so far Cardi’s collabs from Steve Madden to Marc Jacobs have been super successful. Therefore, there is no reason to expect that this one will be any different.
