Video After The Jump
Sparkle stopped by The Breakfast Club this morning and this is how it all went down:
After appearing in “Surviving R Kelly”, Sparkle broke down how she first linked up with the singer. She was introduced to Kelly back in 1989 when a girlfriend introduced her to him, but it wasn’t until 1992 that she actually sang for him, doing background vocals for all of Aaliyah’s first project. At the time though she expressed that there were no signs that he had some type of relationship with Aaliyah or other young girls, especially because Aaliyah’s uncle and other family members were around. Adding on she said that there was no way at the time she believed that he could have been married to R Kelly.
Speaking on if Kelly ever made an advance on her she said nothing ever happened, their relationship was strictly business related also mentioning that there was even a 4 year time period where they didn’t really have any connection. The realization to her that he liked young girls didn’t come about until after the tape surfaced adding on that she wished her family was never introduced to the singer. Before the infamous tape came out she had received calls about her niece being down at the studio with Kelly to often by herself, but her niece's parents were saying it was all good.
When she first saw the tape she immediately turned it off after the first few seconds. Envy then chimed in speaking about how whoever the girl in the tape is now can live her life and no one would ever know who she was because her named was never released, and she never testified in court so she remained a mystery. Sparkle also revealed a lot of her family still doesn’t speak to her because of all of this.
