Sharjah24 - Reuters: Hip-hop legend Missy Elliott was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday during an emotional ceremony attended by singers Lizzo and Ciara.
Elliott broke down in tears when she took the stage and spoke of her struggles with illnesses, including anxiety and depression.
"I want to thank god first of all because I've been sick, there's times I've been sick with anxiety, depression and through the grace of faith, I've kept going, if I hadn't, I wouldn't be standing here in front of a star," said Elliott.
"I've come here 20-some years ago and just used to walk past all of these stars and just imagine. And it's just a blessing to dream big and it truly happened, I'm truly standing here," she added.
Singers Lizzo and Ciara, who have both collaborated with Elliott, turned out to support her at the ceremony in Hollywood.
