This PIONEERING rap TRIO has FINALLY received their STAR! That’s right, Salt N Pepa and DJ Spinderella has their own PIECE of the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
Salt-N-Pepa kicked off their career in the 1980s; the women reunited to unveil their star at the historic sidewalk landmark. While reflecting on their decades-long careers, the entertainers felt pride and gratitude.
“Your setback is a set up for your comeback!” said James. “Everything you’re experiencing and learning along the way is preparing you for what you asked for, for what you prayed for… keep your head up and keep on pushing it ladies!”
“Look at that? Hip hop has lasted for the women!” said Denton. “We gotta keep empowering each other, lifting each other up, pass the torch, this is our time as well and goes to show you that Salt-N-Pepa got a stamp in the earth.”
Their “stamp in the earth” in Hollywood is next to one of their idols, hip-hop legend Missy Elliot.
Salt-N-Pepa’s DJ Spinderella awkwardly reunited with her estranged bandmates on Friday as the iconic trio were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Spinderella, 51 – real name Deidra Muriel Roper, joined Salt (Cheryl James, 56) and Pepa (Sandra Denton, 55) for the unveiling – three years after she claimed her bandmates had ‘terminated’ her position in the band via email.
In her speech, Spin made a PLEA to mend the band’s fractured relationship.
She said: ‘Thank you Salt and Pep for mentoring me. We been through it, ups and downs, life lessons.
‘It wasn’t just the music, it was our relationship and that means everything to me so whatever we got to do to fix that, let’s get some unity back in this! Let’s figure it out and be iconic and be what the fans want.’ And WE so DESPARETELY want the TRIO to PATCH things up because Spin is just a as BIG a part of the BRAND as either Cheryl and Sandra in my opinion. Their best years and biggest HITS included Spin, so it’s only RIGHT!
Fellow HIP HOP sister/friend and pioneer Roxanne Shante was also on hand and gave a MOVING congratulatory speech to the TRIO as well:
MC Lyte was also on hand to congratulate the ladies on their accomplishments!
Salt-N-Pepa will perform when “Dancing with the Stars” hits rewind with “’90s Night” theme, that will also feature guest artists En Vogue, Vanilla Ice and Kid ‘N Play. We will see that on Monday, Nov. 7 on Disney+.
