Missy Elliott is lending her iconic voice to Cartoon Network’s Craig of the Creek. According to Deadline, the Hip-Hop veteran will guest star as Carla Frazier, the 1989 Double Dutch Champion and rival to main character Craig’s mother, Nicole.
In the episode, titled “The Jump Off,” Craig challenges a group of Creek kids to a double dutch jump rope competition, even though he has no idea how to play the rhythmic game.

Although the Supa Dupa Fly pioneer is bringing a fictional character to life, the Craig of the Creek series paid homage to Missy during its season three Halloween special.
In the animated series’ “Trick or Creek” episode, The Williams Family dressed up for the fall holiday with Nicole in costume as Missy Elliott from the “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” music video.
“I am so humbly grateful,” Missy Elliott tweeted in response to a viral clip teasing the episode, where the character repeats “Trick or treat on,” in the style of the chorus of Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On.”
