[dtownsfinest]

different type of type deal here


its very unlikely she was ever signed to the same recording contract as SnP
she wasn't hired until after the first album which has their biggest hit

I'll give you 2 guesses who still holds the trade mark / rights to Salt n Pepa name

Yeah but she’s complaining she’s getting excluded from shows and performances too. That’s a problem.

 

[Drayonis]

They should have laid out the terms in a contract years ago. And renegotiated as they went along

 

[A to Dah K]

You comparing artist to a dj

 

[NER0]

Looks like she’s about to start dj’ing at spot in Dallas(Addison)
I was there last weekend. Might have to go back soon to check her out

Herby is too smart to get involved in such small squabbles. If you ask him he will reply in his Majah Hype Haitian voice “My Fwiend, leave me out of this nonsense. I am wetired.

 

[parisian]

Didn’t she replace Latoya Hanson the original DJ?

The original Spin was fine like hell

 

[woodchuck]

You gotta split three ways. She’s just as popular if not more then the other 2. They are a brand. Bun B would do a show with UGK and would cut his estate some bread. Young Miami been holding City’s Girls down by herself and still giving JT her cut when she do features and shows. That’s how it suppose to be.

When one of the Whispers had to be replaced for an upcoming tour due to illness, he still got a cut of the show money.

That doesn’t mean anything. They know she’s apart of the group and she’s performing with them.

She been out here for awhile. She stay getting money. Wouldn’t shock me if she got more than them.

 

[Mt. Yukon]

That's why friends or not, you handle business like business. That's how you stay friends. Expecting people to do right by you when money is involved will get you nothing but hurt feelings.

 

[Heist]

This shit is still going on? This which Spinderella is Spinderella, Spinderella isn't getting paid shit has been going on for 30+ years.
No one coming to an S&P to see Spinderella on the Wheels of Steel. FOH.

n Devastating News, Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella Are Apparently in a ‘Scorched-Earth’ Legal Battle

Girl, what’s my weakness? Men, and an understanding of contract law. According to Billboard, a judge sent a lawsuit filed by DJ Spinderella against Salt-N-Pepainto mediation on Friday. Deidra Roper, who has performed with Sandra “Pepa” Denton and Cheryl “Salt” James for decades, accuses her former longtime collaborators of fraud, breach of contract, and trademark infringement after receiving a termination email back in January.

While Salt-N-Pepa issued a statement Friday applauding the ruling, saying they hope their attempt to go their separate ways from their former DJ would be like a “divorce, both peacefully and without rancor,” Roper alleges she has lost out on more than $600,000 after being cut out of numerous opportunities dating back years, including Salt-N-Pepa’s tour with New Kids On The Block and last year’s Billboard Awards show. You can read the full statement from Salt-N-Pepa via their spokesperson below.

A U.S. District Court Judge in the Dallas District today rejected DJ Spinderella’s requests for immediate relief against Salt-N-Pepa and its management, ordering the case to mediation. We are grateful for the judge’s ruling as Salt-N-Pepa have been extremely generous to Spin over many decades and attempted to settle what amounts to a divorce, both peacefully and without rancor. Unfortunately, Spin and her legal team adopted a scorched earth approach that brought unnecessary attention to a business dispute that all along could have, and should have, been settled amicably and privately.

DJ Spinderella disappointed over being 'wrongfully excluded' from Salt-N-Pepa's Lifetime biopic

Deidra "DJ Spinderella" Roper is speaking out against Lifetime's Salt-N-Pepa biopic for excluding her voice.

Roper, who was a member of the popular '90s group since 1987, was fired in January 2019 for unknown reasons. Months later, insight into the rift was fleshed out in a lawsuit initiated by Roper against former bandmates Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandra Denton (Pepa) for trademark infringement, fraud, and breach of contract. The case was dismissed in July 2019 after the trio reached a confidential settlement, according to TMZ.

The agreement didn't lead to a reconciliation, however, which was made evident as James and Denton, who co-produced and wrote the biopic released on Saturday, did not invite Roper to tell her side of the story. The legendary DJ also expressed her disappointment from being excluded "from every aspect of development and production."

"Sorry, but I gotta speak on this Lifetime special," Roper tweeted on Saturday. "Too often, Black women who have made meaningful contributions in their industry are left out of historical narratives."

She continued, "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."



Roper made clear in a further note that she "does not support" the film adding, "There's nothing more unacceptable than a woman being silenced by another woman."
She also took the opportunity to announce she's working on her own projects that'll share insight into her musical contributions and her life in her own voice.
"The great news is I'm in the final stages of writing my memoir, a personal journey navigating through life, relationships, and the industry that raised me. 30+ years is a lot of content and I'm ready to share."




During Roper's years with Salt-N-Pepa, they won a Grammy Award in 1995 for Best Rap Performance by a duo or group for their hit song "None of Your Business," multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and were honored at the second annual VH-1 Hip-Hop Honors.

When they separated from Herbie, this is when all the real problems between them happened and Salt N Pepa began to fall off. Herb wanted Spin to be like Jam Master Jay was to Run DMC. Jay didn't rap much. But, Run DMC treated Jay like an equal. Herb planned this for Salt N Pepa, but when they decided to split from Herb, those plans went away because the money wasn't coming in the same anymore.

Plus, back in the day, Spin was always the finest one. They knew this and used her as eye candy until she wasn't needed anymore.

different type of type deal here


its very unlikely she was ever signed to the same recording contract as SnP
she wasn't hired until after the first album which has their biggest hit

I'll give you 2 guesses who still holds the trade mark / rights to Salt n Pepa name

Right,all of this bickering,suing back and forth BUT NO ONE SAY'S A DAMN THING ABOUT HERBIE AND HE PROBABLY JUST PURCHASED HIS YOUNGEST CHILD A 2021 BENZ WITH A BOW ON TOP.
KidNPlay,SaltNPeppa,Martin laurence,Tisha & Pam and the many other artist he produced and worked with,dude was the smart and still is.

j's value was never rapping

[TENT]

How much did he charge?

Lol!!! This I don't know.

Lol!! Not Jarobi!! Lol!!

Naw, Jay was not a rapper......at least not a good rapper. Neither was Spin really. I made the comment Jay rapped on a couple joints, and someone incorrectly said he didn't.

I'm really deep into music. Especially history.

J was not signed on the Profile recording contract...but signed on the Arista contract ,

everything else you typed is false

he had 1/3 publishing of production under "RunDMC" and 1/3 of shows after Rush ate
