The hip-hop pioneer’s expansive living room was complete with a white baby grand piano at the end of a curved staircase, which faces a large window and provides residents with a beautiful view and plenty of natural light.  

Among some of her unique decor is a wall of custom built-ins showcase for her collection of gold and platinum albums next to a cozy couch, which guests could sit on as she tickled the ivories.

As for her dining area, the home, located in the affluent suburban hamlet of Melville about 30 miles east of Manhattan and 90 miles west of Montauk, has both an area for formal meals and a center island kitchen.

Her living room featured a cozy couch with a brown throw and glass table, which held her Grammy that she won for the hit single Whatta Man in 1993.  

Located behind the kitchen and laundry room is a guest room, which pales in comparison to James’ four other bedrooms.  

The primary suite has ‘two-walk-in closets and a bathroom ‘almost as big as the guest bedrooms,’ according to Dirt.

The backyard is an entertainer’s dream with a ‘partially covered terrace outside the recreation room and a grassy yard that slopes toward a dense forest of mature trees and foliage.’ 

The home gym is pretty impressive with a number of workout machines, mirrors and yellow walls. 

News of her home on the market comes after her former Salt-N-Pepa bandmate member Deidra Roper made headlines for saying she was ‘wrongfully excluded’ from their group’s Lifetime biopic.

DJ Spinderella spoke up about her awkward omission from Lifetime’s upcoming Salt-N-Pepa biopic, that she was left out on Twitter.

At the time, her bandmates James and Sandra ‘Pepa’ Denton were promoting the three-hour special, that aired last month, explaining how they both played an integral part in telling the hip-hop group’s trailblazing story (and have executive producer credits on the film.)

However, it appears after years of bad blood between the three rappers, Roper was not invited to give her input into the dramatization, which charts the band’s success after first forming in 1985, and releasing their iconic hip-hop single Push It in 1987.
