Dj Spinderella

Before DJ Spinderella became a world-renowned icon, she was a musically inspired student trying to make it in the Windy City. The former Salt-N-Pepa member spoke with Thornwood High School students and supporters on Tuesday, Feb. 9 through an educational virtual Q-and-A workshop, which she co-hosted with Stanley Coleman Jr. Productions LLC. During the hourlong session, about 30 viewers tuned in to hear the emcee discuss how a high school romance helped spark her true passion.

The emcee claims Salt-N-Pepa terminated her via email in 2019 and "wrongfully excluded" her from the making of Lifetime's newly released biopic on the trio. Deidra "DJ Spinderella" Roper is hitting back at her former group, Grammy-winners Salt-N-Pepa. The famous master of ceremonies, 50, revealed that she would only consider...

Salt-N-Pepa's Cheryl James and Sandra Denton had sounded optimistic when they spoke to Billboard in December about a reunion with DJ Spinderella despite the latter's 2019 lawsuit against the two. But though James said "time heals all wounds," if you ask Deidra Roper -- the woman behind the turntables -- it's going to take a little more than time to get the group back together.

DJ Spinderella had more than a few words to say about the Lifetime special on the group Salt n’ Pepa, saying, “Too often, Black women who have made meaningful contributions in their industry are left out of historical narratives.” In a string of tweets, she added in part, “Back when Salt n’ Pepa was building our legacy, which is rooted in empowering women, I could not have dreamed that this same group would one day disempower me.

DJ Spinderella released a statement ahead of the release of Lifetime’s Salt-n-Pepa biopic last week. She expressed her disappointment about being excluded from the flick. “Too often, Black women who have made meaningful contributions in their industry are left out of historical narratives. Back when Salt n’ Pepa was building our legacy, which is rooted in empowering women, I could not have dreamed that this same group would one day disempower me,” her message started.

(CNN) — DJ Spinderella is speaking out about being excluded from the production of the Salt-N-Pepa biopic that premiered this weekend on Lifetime. Deidra "DJ Spinderella" Roper, who was a member of the group from 1987 until 2019, was fired by group members Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandra Denton (Pepa) and later sued for breach of contract. The trio later reached a confidential settlement.

DJ Spinderella has criticised the upcoming new Salt-N-Pepa biopic. Spinderella, real name Deidra Muriel Roper, was the group’s former DJ and third member. Yesterday (Jan 22), she took to social media to criticise the biopic, saying she was “disappointed” she was excluded from “every aspect of development and production.”. “Sorry...

DJ Spinderella isn’t happy about the new Salt-N-Pepa biopic. Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton formulated the now-iconic female hip hop supergroup Salt-N-Pepa in 1985. It took 3 decades, but they are finally getting their flowers via their very own biopic. Sadly, it seems not everyone will be reveling in the celebrations, as the group’s longtime DJ speaks on social media. The group took on Deidra “DJ Spinderella” Roper in 1987 as a replacement to Dj Latoya Hanson. A 30-year career/friendship would blossom from the union, leading to massive hit singles such as “Push It” and “Whatta Man.”
