Queen Latifah Producing Shows On Clark Sisters, Salt N Pepa
Ladies First: Salt N Pepa Announce Tour And Miniseries; Clark Sisters Biopic Introduces Cast
Queen Latifah is helping other talented women make boss moves. She’s part of the production team behind not one, but two upcoming projects on Lifetime Network, centered around two iconic female groups. The Clark Sisters biopic is heading to screens with Being Mary Jane’s Raven Goodwin as Denise, Christina Bell as Twinkie, Kierra “Kiki” Sheard playing her real-life mother, Karen, Angela Birchett as Jacky and Sheléa Frazier as Dorinda. Aunjanue Ellis is playing family matriarch, Mattie Moss Clark. Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliot are on board as producers as well.

Lifetime also announced that Queen Latifah and her longtime producing partner Shakim Compere would be producing a Salt N Pepa miniseries for Lifetime. People.com reported the that the duo Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandy “Pepa” Denton are involved in the project, presumably along with Dee Dee “Spinderella” Roper, the group’s longtime deejay. New Edition miniseries producer Jessie Collins is along as well.
Salt N Pepa are also part of The Mixtape Tour, which brings 80’s acts New Kids on the Block, Tiffany and Debbie Gibson along with Naughty By Nature. That should be interesting since Pepa and Treach of Naughty By Nature were once married and share a grown daughter, Egypt. After the publication of her memoir, Let’s Talk About Pep, in 2017, where she accused him of abuse he aired her out on Instagram, calling her a whore and other things. Maybe they’ve resolved things by now?
