The Untold Truth Of DJ Spinderella From Salt-N-Pepa

In May 2019, DJ Spinderella announced on Instagram that she was no longer part of the iconic trio that was Salt-N-Pepa. "I'm deeply saddened to share with all the #SaltnPepa and #Spinderella fans that I will not be performing on the #NKOTB [New Kids on the Block] Mixtape Tour," she began. "Despite my participation in promoting the tour and being highly publicized as one of the acts, in January 2019 I received a 'termination' email from #SaltnPepa excluding me from performances with the group." She said she wanted to be honest with fans and added that she was disappointed that Salt-N-Pepa never mentioned the issue publicly.

Two months after her Instagram announcement, DJ Spinderella sued the group for a breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, and unpaid royalties, per TMZ. In the May 2019 announcement to fans, DJ Spinderella touched on the fact that she did not want fans to be misled into thinking she would be present at future Salt-N-Pepa gigs, possibly hinting at the "misrepresentation" part of her suit. The lawsuit claimed Salt-N-Pepa owed her at least $125,000 for unpaid royalties starting in the 1990s. A U.S. District Court Judge sent the suit to be settled in mediation in August 2019, per Billboard.

Following the drama, DJ Spinderella seems to have moved on and is focusing on her passions and her family.
