IN THE STREETS & ON THE WEB

So Missy Elliot Is Skinny Now

Missy Elliott made a rare public appearance and we have to say, she looks amazing!

The rapper, known for songs like "Lose Control” and "Get Ur Freak On", has been flying under the radar for quite some time now ... making only one other appearance in public all year.

Missy looked super skinny while performing her hit songs at Alexander Wang’s H&M Collection launch in New York City on Thursday night.

She gave us an even better look at her slimmed down frame with a photo she shared on her Twitter page after her performance (above). "Just got off stage thanks @ALEXANDERWANGNY and @hmusa for having me perform I enjoyed,” she captioned the photo, where she's seen wearing a hat with the words "You Can't Workout With Us."

I hate when rappers come back fronting! We got Rick Ross saying he started eating peaches to lose weight & this bitch is talking about she's working out!
