‘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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
