<p>It&#8217;s been 15 years since Jordin Sparks and <a href="/profile/ChrisBrown" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Chris Brown</a> came together to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/434692-chris-brown-taps-jordin-sparks-to-join-him-onstage-for-no-air-in-vegas-watch-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">make magic on &#8220;No Air</a>.<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/434692-chris-brown-taps-jordin-sparks-to-join-him-onstage-for-no-air-in-vegas-watch-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;</a> To this day, though, the <em>American Idol</em> alum continues to defend her friend. In the past, she&#8217;s shut down those who continue to bring up the father of three&#8217;s prior <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/600283-jordin-sparks-defends-chris-brown-everyone-deserves-to-grow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">allegations of abuse</a> – even though they may have cost her a Grammy.</p>



<p>Earlier this month, the &#8220;One Step At A Time&#8221; hitmaker appeared on Cut&#8217;s &#8220;Truth or Drink&#8221; video series. During the interview, the host couldn&#8217;t help but go back in time to the 2009 award ceremony. At the time, Breezy was arrested due to an altercation with his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/287505-rihanna-on-chris-brown-we-love-each-other-and-probably-always-will-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">then-girlfriend, Rihanna</a>.</p>

<p>According to Sparks, she found out about the incident &#8220;like everybody else [did].&#8221; As she recalls, label publicists approached her on the red carpet, telling the singer, &#8220;You know nothing.&#8221;</p>



<p>At the time, she had no idea about what happened, just that &#8220;No Air&#8221; was up for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the Grammys. Under normal circumstances, the night would&#8217;ve been a dream come true. However, it obviously took a turn for the worse after Breezy&#8217;s arrest.</p>



<p>Sparks says she found out the truth during the ceremony. At first, she was confident that they &#8220;had a really good chance of winning.&#8221; Ultimately, though, it was Robert Plant and Alison Krauss&#8217; work on &#8220;Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)&#8221; that took the trophy.</p>

<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t believe it,&#8221; the 33-year-old told Cut. &#8220;A lot of stuff that happened after that was not me. I think a lot of the powers that had a hand in, like… [I] didn’t know the ins and outs of the industry,&#8221; she further explained.</p>



<p>Reliving what could&#8217;ve been with &#8220;No Air&#8221; is never easy. Luckily, the interview also found Sparks happily discussing her solo music and her relationship. &#8220;Have you ever done the nasty while listening to your own music?&#8221; the host asked her.</p>



<p>From off-camera, her husband, Dana Isaiah quickly answers for her, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; As his wife laughs, she jokes, &#8220;I don’t even get to take a shot, damn it!&#8221; Afterward, she says the track of choice for the bedroom is &#8220;Silhouette&#8221; from her <em>Right Here Right Now</em> album.</p>
