‘I See Why They Couldn’t Breathe with No Air’: Jordin Sparks Has Fans Gagging Over Her Curvy Frame

Jordin Sparks shocked fans with her new Instagram video that showcased the process of putting on jeans while having thick thighs. The season six “American Idol” winner uploaded a video of her struggling to put on medium blue washed skinny jeans as the song “Savage Remix” by Megan Thee Stallion featuring Beyoncé played in the background. 

While Jordin stretched, squatted and jumped in the pants, she played a verse of the song that said, “If you wanna see some real a– baby here’s your chance I said left cheek right cheek drop it low then swang.” The verse finished off with, “If you don’t jump to put jeans on baby you don’t feel my pain.”

A few seconds after her tussle to get the pants past her curves, the 32-year-old songstress finally pulled up the jeans and successfully brought them to her waist where she then buttoned them and let out a sigh of relief. 

The “No Air” singer captioned her video, “I get it from my mama! [crown emoji] [bee emoji] said it best! [laughing emoji].”

Over 70,000 fans liked the bootylicious video and expressed their surprise to Jordin’s curvaceous physique. 


“Jordin. Did the people know you had all the cake in the bakery? Lol”

“I see why they couldn’t breathe with no air.” 

“Who knew Jordin Sparks had THOSE cakes?”

“I didn’t know you had it like that! [fire emojis].”

Though many comments surrounded fans’ bewilderment toward the “Sparkle” star’s hidden hourglass figure, other comments surrounded how they could related to the video. 

“I thought I was the only one that does those leg kicks,” one fan wrote. 

“I know the ‘squat-kick-kick’ all too well!”

“Omgg I thought I was the only one that does both kicks! [laughing emojis]”

“This is me! I feel your pain!” 

There were also comments that praised the stylish jeans, “Okay but Jordin, what pants are those! [fire emoji]” 

“Where did you get these jeans? Bangin!!”

“You need to get paid to promote these jeans, I will but them tomorrow!” 

Jordin Sparks has been in the industry for quite some time and after this video, it’s safe to say she’s still turning heads and stopping hearts.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
