Like a bad marriage, sometimes relationships just don’t work out — despite concerted efforts to keep it together. And in the case of Salt-N-Pepa, it appears their trifecta has crumbled.
In a lengthy Instagram statement posted on Thursday (May 2), DJ Spinderella — who has been with the Grammy Award-winning duo since 1987 (replacing the original Spinderella, Latoya Hanson) — revealed she was essentially fired from the upcoming New Kids On The Block: The Mixtape Tour featuring Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Naughty By Nature and, of course, 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 Mixtape Tour,” she wrote. “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.”
Spinderella added it’s been months since she received the email and thought Cheryl “Salt” James or Sandra “Pepa” Denton would’ve informed their fans by now.
“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,” she continued. “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 you will have the opportunity to see me this summer in many other projects and activities I’ll be participating in and I look forward to seeing you all then.” Thank you, Spinderella.”
The NKTOB tour kicked off on Thursday (May 2) in Ohio and continues through July.
Damn
No one cares about a single one of these acts
ya mother does. and her OLD Head is fiyah #NoTeeth
Lol @ the #noteeth comment…..brutal hahaha

Spinderella has never been able to except the fact she is simply the DJ of a legendary rap group. They don’t need you, you need them.
just shut up. really.
clown.
I mean its kinda true tho no?
Shut the F up already.
That stopped me going.
Spinderella cuts the records with a chainsaw!!!
Seriously tho…. that’s not right.
Zz.
Why y’all lame asses so scared of the comment section? Disable this fuck shit if all y’all gon do is police and delete shit wit y’all soft asses that cant take NO fucking constructive criticism…real feedback gets deleted cuz u millennial fucks are soooooooo worried about how you’re perceived by the a buncha mfs u dont even know…
PATHETIC!
accept*
I concur
Because there’s a huge difference between constructive criticism and being a piece of shit troll with nothing but negativity to spread. If anything’s pathetic, it’s people like you who do nothing for the culture but complain. Sorry your lives suck. Grow up.
Also, your comment is especially hilarious since you can’t even speak proper English. Wow. Read a book.
Lmao what???
Translation: This little bit of bread is barely enough to go around for two, let alone for three when you just stand in the back while the voice over track plays.
Cold but you 100 percent correct…
Is Reality TV to blame ? Song of the Night Run N DMC ( Down With The Kings )
They fired her for still being black. Unlike the other two. Pepa is an absolute disgrace. Seriously, people need to be called out with all this skin bleaching and nose carving to try to look white. It’s a terrible message to young black girls. It’s sad, and I understand the psychology of it, but that doesn’t make it right. Peace.
Females, always bickering.
They gonna bring back the original spin just to new petty lol yell
