17 years ago Missy Elliott won the VMA for 'Video Of The Year' for her hit song 'Work It' and the star of the video was a young dancer by the name of Alyson Stoner.

After performing with Missy Elliott back in 2003 when she picked up the award and also being the star of the original music video, Alyson rejoined Missy on stage at the 2019 ceremony for a massive reunion that had rap fans flooding Twitter with nostalgic comments.

After her throwback performance of the original dance routine, Alyson Stoner took to Instagram to post a picture of herself on the VMAs red carpet and captioned the image 'Gottem. @missymisdemeanorelliott'.

Alyson Stoner also revealed that she'd only been asked by Missy to join her on stage the day before the show and responded to a Twitter user who questioned whether she had to rehearse for the show.

Replying, Alyson said 'Let’s talk quick facts.. HiHat hit me up a day before to jump in, said “do your thing” and then it was showtime. But those grooves don’t leave your system.'

Missy elliott was persented the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award by fellow VMA winner Cardi B, who admitted that Missy had been a huge inspiration for her.

Presenting the award, Cardi said, "Her album was the first one I ever bought. Everyone has copied from Missy Elliott, even me. I don't care! So what?"
