Lifetime has announced that the release date for the Salt-N-Pepa biopic will January 23, 2021 at 8 pm, with an interview with the ladies to follow. Here is the description:
The miniseries Salt-N-Pepa follows the story of Queensborough Community College students Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton as they fall into the world of rap and hip hop, after recording for a song for their friend Hurby Azor. Salt-N-Pepa made a huge impact in hip hop by being one of the first all-female rap groups, changing the look of hip hop and unafraid to talk about sex and share their thoughts on men. Salt-N-Pepa became the first female rap act to go platinum and experienced ground-breaking success with multiple awards, including a Grammy, paving the way for all female rappers to follow. The miniseries will also feature their greatest hits like Let’s Talk About Sex, What a Man, Shoop and Push It, among others.
Lifetime was quietly working on a Salt-N-Pepa biopic and they’ve officially blessed us with the trailer, although there is no official release date for, what they’re calling the “the Lifetime Movie Event of the Year.’ Peep it below:
They did say it was coming soon, I will watch, but being that they’re the Executive Producers I hope we get more real and not just the fairy tale version of the story.
