Missy Elliott has resorted to social media to express her gratitude after learning that her hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia, is honouring her by naming a street after her.

The Portsmouth city council decided to rename a section of McLean Street, which is located in the city’s entertainment centre, to Missy Elliott Boulevard in order to celebrate the four-time Grammy winner.

As reported by CBS affiliate WTKR, the local city council unanimously voted to honor the four-time Grammy-winner with her very own street.

Officials will rename a portion of McLean Street, located in Portsmouth’s entertainment district, to Missy Elliott Boulevard. The road runs adjacent to the Victory Crossing Shopping Center, Tidewater Community College, and the upcoming Portsmouth Rivers Casino.

The station reports that the approved ordinance will not affect the addresses of existing or future developments, including residential areas.

Elliott, who was born and raised in Portsmouth, celebrated on social media by tweeting; “I am forever grateful.”

I am forever GRATEFUL🙏🏾 P-TOWN🙌🏾 VA #757 LOVE💜

— Missy Elliott (@MissyElliott) August 10, 2022

The name change was proposed by Erin Carter, a family friend of Elliott’s.

Missy shared a photo of Carter on her Instagram Stories, writing,

“Thank you @iamerincarter for initiating me having a street in my name in my hometown VA! Thank [you] to the whole city council???????????? I have been Blessed with many awards but this hit different when it comes from home & I am PROUD to be a #757 2 up 2 down country girl!
