DJ Spinderella Speaks Out After Being Fired From Legendary Group Salt-N-Pepa
Madame Noire reports that Spinderella is no longer a part of Salt N Pepa and took to Instagram to inform her fans with a lengthy post.
“I’m deeply saddened to share with all the #SaltnPepa and #Spinderella fans that I will not be performing on the #NKOTB Mixtape Tour. 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. It was my expectation, after making that decision, that they would also take responsibility for sharing the news with the public and other affected parties,” she wrote.
“It has been months now with no mention. Out of love for my fans and a commitment to upholding a standard of professionalism, I’ve taken it upon myself to let everyone know. I refuse to participate in misleading fans, ticketholders, and others who — based on all the advertising — were anticipating seeing the iconic #SaltnPepa and #Spinderella trio. So, I’m making it clear now. Please know that you will the opportunity to see me this summer in many other places and activities I’ll be participating in and I look forward to seeing you all then, Thank you, Spinderella,” she continued.

The world has officially gone to hell in a handbasket. #saltnpepa have fired @Spindeezy. And over email! Rude and pretty gross to treat both her and the fans this way. #Spinderella deserved better. https://t.co/QtZQ1vNVls

This truly is shocking news because Salt N Pepa have been a pioneering voice in Hip Hop for over thirty years. Hopefully they can come to some type of agreement and reconcile whatever issues they have because the culture needs them! Please don’t let this truly be the end of an era.
