Salt-N-Pepa and DJ Spinderella Immortalized in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
NASHVILLE, April 29, 2025 — The queens of hip-hop have officially claimed their crown. Salt-N-Pepa, alongside longtime collaborator DJ Spinderella, have been enshrined into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a moment decades in the making.
Launching onto the scene in the late ‘80s with anthems that dared to speak boldly about love, relationships, and independence, Salt-N-Pepa not only made music — they sparked a movement. Tracks like Push It, Shoop, and Whatta Man broke through a male-dominated industry, showcasing that women’s voices in rap were powerful, essential, and here to stay.
The group’s induction was announced during a special American Idol broadcast, leading up to the official celebration on November 8, 2025, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Salt-N-Pepa’s journey from trailblazers to legends is now etched permanently in music history.
