What's better than receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV VMAs? Having Janet Jackson gush about you for two minutes on Instagram.
Jackson posted a heartfelt video message to Missy Elliott, who received the award at last night's ceremony. Jackson, who calls Missy "Jack," said, "I want to talk about how beautiful your soul is, the person that you are. You know how much I love you. And your soul is so true and so real and your energy and your spirit is beyond. I think that's why God has given you all that he has."
She continued, "You are brilliant. You are fabulous and I just want to thank you for being you. For being such a beautiful, loyal, wonderful friend and always being real, in front of the camera, and off camera."
