Ooh, baby, baby … Salt-N-Pepa’s upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for musical influence is missing an RSVP … according to the group’s original DJ Spinderella<\/strong>!!!<\/p>\n

TMZ Hip Hop spoke to Latoya Hanson<\/strong>, who was a founding member of SNP all the way up to the release of the trio’s 1986 debut album, “Hot, Cool & Vicious” … you can see her on the cover art!!!<\/p>\n

Latoya tells us no one from SNP contacted her about the ceremony going down — not surprising on her part because she says it’s the type of sneakiness from Cheryl “Salt” James<\/strong> that got her booted from the group!!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Latoya claims Salt — not Pepa<\/strong>, not Deidra Roper<\/strong> — was the evil genius who hated on her shine back in the day. OG Spinderella was on hand for the recording of their early singles “Push It” and “Tramp” … but she says she was HOT when the videos dropped and then was M-I-A!!!<\/p>\n

She also has issues with how she was depicted in the group’s 2021 Lifetime biopic, a feature film that the replacement Spinderella also voiced her frustrations about<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Salt-N-Pepa are currently fighting their own battles with a lawsuit against Universal Music Group<\/strong><\/a> for unpaid royalties … Latoya says that’s rich coming from Salt.<\/p>\n

Latoya notes that the group’s famed producer, Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor<\/strong>, and his publishing company, own the rights, lyrics and music — not SNP.<\/p>\n

Latoya also claims Salt lacked the vision and musical expertise to realize “Push It” was a hit straight out the gate. The track made SNP the first female rap group to go Platinum!!!<\/p>\n

It’s been many, many years since Latoya says she’s spoken to Salt or Pep, but says Hurby assured her everything will be in order for her to present at the festivities.<\/p>\n

If the Rock Hall didn’t know about the behind-the-scenes pettiness — they do now.<\/p>\n

No hard feelings, Salt … Latoya says she’ll still sit next to you!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘The Original Spinderella’ Salt-N-Pepa’s Trying To Block Me From Rock Hall … Shady Biz for 30 Years!!!
