During her speech, Missy dedicated her win to the “dance community” who has always supported her. She made sure to thank Peter Gabriel, Janet Jackson, and her friend, the late singer Aaliyah. “I have worked diligently for over two decades and I never thought I’d be standing up here receiving this award, so it means to much to me,” she said.
“I want to dedicate this award to the dance community all around the world. Because when y’all get on the stage with these artists, y’all are not just props. Y’all are not just the icing on the cake, y’all are the beat to the heart” – Missy Elliott, #VMAs Video Vanguard winner pic.twitter.com/YDuxu0lEOj

We weren’t worthy of @MissyElliott then and we aren’t worthy of her now.
