Last month, Elliott made headlines for being booted off stage during London "s annual Wireless Festival.

Missy Elliott was reportedly kicked off the stage at last weekend "s Wireless Festival after she exceeded her performance time slot.

Reports claimed the show "s executives had her sound cut off during the performance.

Missy, who performed hits like Work It, Pass That Dutch and Get Ur Freak On, announced to festival-goers: "(I "m the) flyest s**t in the house". She also raised eyebrows when she mimed during bits of her set and brought on stage her new protege Sharaya, who didn "t bother to sing live either. (Metro UK News)
