Behind the battles was real sisterhood. 🤝 While touring together during the Roxanne Wars, Roxanne Shanté — a brand-new teenage mother — got stiffed by a promoter who refused to pay her. Without a second thought, Sparky D reached into her own pocket, handed Shanté a stack of cash, and told her: "Take care of that baby." Two women who battled each other on stage every night were still looking out for each other behind the scenes.
We're honoring Sparky D's life, career, and legacy on the Queue Points podcast — full episode wherever you get your podcasts.
