In case y’all haven’t heard, Salt N’ Pepa are currently starring on a BET reality show, Ladies’ Night. Throughout the show, fans have now gotten an inside look of the dynamic between Pepa, Salt, and Spinderella, as well as the issues they have. In a nutshell, Pepa and Salt do not want Spin’ to reap the same financial benefits as them, since she did not start as an original member of the group and also because they feel that she is now ‘replaceable’ as their DJ.

Spinderella has also revealed that they’ve treated her like a second class citizen from the very start.

Quick history refresher: Salt N’ Pepa were formed by producer, Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor, in 1985. They let go the first ‘DJ Spinderella,’ Latoya Hanson, in 1986. By 1987, Diedre “Spinderella” Roper, joined the group and she’s been there ever since.
Fans Still Going Off On Them…
The aforementioned facts are why fans are heated with Pepa and Salt’s current treatment toward Spin. Now, whenever Salt N’ Pepa post anything on their social media page, fans quickly remind them they will not support, until they bring back Spinderella. Take for example their June 2019 post, when fans responded to Salt and Pepa’s question: “Chicago you ready? #mixtapetour #saltnpepa #girlswhatsmyweakness”…
