Earlier this month, Jordin Sparks and Sage the Gemini ended their relationship after dating for 10 months. While the rapper initially begged Sparks to take him back in an Instagram post, it looks like his feelings about his ex have changed. A leaked phone conversation between Sage, whose real name is Dominic Wynn Woods, and his ex-fianceé, Curium Hurley, reveals the rapper calling his relationship with Sparks a "publicity stunt."
"Everything was f--kin' horrible," he said in the recording, which was leaked by Hurley Monday, according to Us Weekly. "That s--t was f--king dumb. She got on my nerves. I wanted to stab her. All of that s--t... Don't get me wrong, she's cool, she's levelheaded, whatever, but she's not no regular person... Everybody on the outside looking in [thinks] it's hella perfect."
In the recording, the rapper also claimed his manager initially posted pictures of him with Sparks ahead of his album release last spring to "stir s--t up."
The 25-year-old "American Idol" winner and the rapper first started dating in April 2015, just six months after Sparks ended her long-term relationship with Jason Durulo. Things seemed to get very serious very early between the two, especially after Sparks hinted in July that she could see them being together for a while.
"It's very early, but I'm not the type of person who stays in a relationship if I can't see it going further than a casual relationship," Sparks told "Entertainment Tonight." "I could see marriage, but we haven't really planned anything. He does call me his wife, though."
The initial reason for the split between the two was not given, but it had something to do with Sparks having trust issues, according to E! News.
