DJ Spinderella is not happy about that Lifetime Salt-N-Pepa movie - The A.V. Club

Unlike some Lifetime projects that have crawled out of the woodwork over the years, Salt-N-Pepa is mostly authorized—which is to say, it was produced and co-written by both Salt and Pepa (and co-produced by their old pal Queen Latifah), but not, tellingly by the trio’s former third member, DJ Spinderella.

That probably has a lot to do with the fact that Spinderella (a.k.a. Diedre Roper, who joined the group shortly after its first album dropped in 1985, and who spent more than 30 years as its DJ) was fired from the group in 2019, after which she sued Salt and Pepa on allegations of unpaid royalties.
