While Sparkle no longer has ties with R. Kelly, the R&B singer says her niece’s father is still working for the singer. “You can find his name on a lot of credits on previous albums. But yes, they’re all still around him.” According to her interview with S2S’s Jamie Foster Brown, Sparkle has moved on with her life. After rapping up a gig with Toni Braxton in Las Vegas this year, Sparkle has committed to finishing a new album entitled “Split Decision.” Due sometime next year, “Split Decision” follows Sparkle’s 2000 release “Told You So” and her 1998 self titled debut. Sparkle’s feature story and interview can be found in October’s issue of Sister 2 Sister where she explains why she chose to testify against the man she said she still deeply cares for, and the man who was responsible for ushering her to stardom. Sister 2 Sister is on newstands now.
