10 rappers who went from overweight to over-toned – You will be surprised to see #2 (With Pictures)

6. Missy Elliott

Missy Elliott is known as a pioneer in the hip hop genre for her outlandish videos, zany lyrics and catchy vocal hooks. The rapper and singer has collaborated with a host of famed artists, includingCiara and Timbaland. She’s been out of the spotlight for a few years, but she does make appearances, and it’s clear that she’s been taking good care of herself. Elliot was always heavy-set, but decided to lose 50 pounds as a result of trying to prevent high blood pressure, which runs in her family. She cites exercise and diet as the tools for her weight loss, and has since modeled for MAC’s Viva Glam campaign.
