Salt-N-Pepa's Spinderella has become the first female DJ to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame following the trio's recognition at Saturday's annual ceremony at the Los Angeles Peacock Theater.
Missy Elliott, who became the first female rap star Hall of Famer in 2023, gave a speech welcoming Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella to the stage. The act then performed a medley of hit singles including 'Push It' and 'Whatta Man'. The latter included a guest appearance by En Vogue, who collaborated on the original 1993 recording.
“When I started, it was a rare thing to see a woman behind turntables,” Spinderella said in her induction speech. “It was literally the boys club, so I had to carve my own lane. I had to show up.
