I once read there was another "Spinderella" in the early days of Hip Hop, well before the days of Salt'n'Pepa. Would someone have more info on that? Ds77

The original DJ for the group, now know as The Original Spinderella was LaToya Hanson. She is featured in this months Source Magazine, Page 028, The Tables Turn, written by Khary Kimani Turner. --WheezyF (talk) 18:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Name

The article states that she was born Deidra Muriel Roper then later says that she was nee Jones. Is there a non-awkward way of conveying her three names without the contradiction? Macho Philipovich (talk) 17:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed Jones because it was added (Nov. 3, 2007) without any sources and I couldn't find any info today on the Internet to support the addition (except articles that were obviously based on this Wikipedia article). Ariadne55 (talk) 14:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is her age right? Born in August 1971? I don't remember her only being 16 when Push It came out mid-1988, and it would make her only 15 when the debut album was recorded... Salt and Pepa themselves were born in '64 and '66 - is Spinderella really 5/7 years younger? rpj

Bifomia

The article states that her daughter died of "bifomia". There's no such disease, the only Google hit is the article itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.153.118.163 (talk) 19:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birth year

How do we want to use her instagram ref verifying '70? --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 15:49, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Roper, DJ Spinderella. "MADE IT TO PARADISE!!! 🙌🏽 #Hallelujah #50andFABULOUS 🌴🐚😊💋💃🏽💫🌏💐". Instagram.com. Retrieved August 3, 2020.

If someone wants to change how we're addressing this, a good start would be to make a complete list of all references covering her year of birth. We can't simply remove or ignore references. --Hipal (talk) 17:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
