Salt-N-Pepa's former DJ, Spinderella, is suing the duo for royalties, trademark infringement, fraud and breach of contract, claiming the ladies has been scamming her out of millions of dollars for decades. The news of the lawsuit comes two months after Spin publicly announced she had been fired by the group ahead of their performances on the New Kids on the Block Mixtape Tour. According to Spin, it began with the release of the Best of Salt-N-Pepa album. She also claims she was promised a third of the royalties for that album and she never got it. $125K to be exact. Spin also claims that Salt-N-Pepa excluded her from a VH1 TV show based on the group's journey in the music industry. Spin says she was left out of the contract negotiation and only received “minimal compensation” for a guest role in the show. Back in 2018 Spinderella appeared at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards but was not paid.According to TMZ, “Spin says she was informed by SoundExchange , which collects and distributes royalties to artists , that her group-mates had been paid more than $600k in royalties over the last decade, but she hadn't seen a dime of that money.”
