Missy Elliott says getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was a moment she will "never forget."

After her star-studded Walk of Fame ceremony on Monday, where Lizzo and Ciara helped to pay tribute to the singer's illustrious career, Elliott took to Instagram to post a touching message.

"We here baby!" she began, sharing photos and a video of the event. "And I know a lot of people say (Missy it’s bout Time) but this was the right time (God’s Timing) & I am Grateful! This is a moment that I shall never forget & all the people who have been on this journey with me through my ups and downs & sickness I want you all to know how much you mean to me."

Elliott then took time to acknowledge her peers in hip hop as well as those who came before her.
