Don't call it a comeback.
VH1 is giving two '90s female hip-hop icons, Sandra (Pepa) Denton of Salt-N-Pepa and Rozonda (Chilli) Thomas of TLC, their own reality shows.
The as-yet-untitled Pepa project will follow Denton as she looks for love after four years of self-imposed celibacy. The rapper and three of her closest female friends, who are also single, will meet for brunch every week to discuss the highs and lows of the past seven days.
Chilli's series, which is also untitled so far, will show its star, a single mother, enlisting Brooklyn relationship expert Tionna Smalls to help her find a long-term relationship.
Both series are set to premiere next year.
"These are women that our audiences know. They're attached to them, they know their music, and they're both women you can root for," Jeff Olde, executive vice president of original programming and production for VH1, told the Daily News yesterday. "But the shows are different. The Pepa show, I think, gives us a window into the real conversations women have about their lives and relationships. With Chilli, it's breaking down why this gorgeous, successful woman is still single and pushing her to try new things and push her boundaries."
