Talk show host Wendy Williams has added more water to the kettle in a recent segment of Hot Topics that suggest Jordin Sparks may have footed the bill to the tune of $70,000 for Sage the Gemini's new home -- and she has the recording to prove it.

The queen of daytime talk shows always dishes the inside scoop during Hot Topics and during her Wednesday, Feb. 24 segment she revealed some details about Sparks' and Gemini's relationship that suggest their "hooking up" was all one big publicity stunt from the very beginning.

American Idol star Sparks has had her past relationship with rapper Gemini put under the microscope since their split and his Instagram confession of how much he loves and misses her, but Williams reveals things weren't so great.

According to Williams, a possible ex-girlfriend recorded a phone conversation that she had with the rapper where he not only reveals that their relationship was all arranged by "their people" but completely verbally bashes her by stating how during their relationship, "she got on [his] nerves" and how "[he] wanted to stab her."

He also indicated how he didn't view Sparks as a "regular person," but he did find her useful to his life in other ways. During the segment Williams relayed a portion of the recording to the audience that she heard while listening to the tape earlier in the day with her staff. According to Williams, the ex-girlfriend asked Gemini why was Sparks allowed to come to his new home but she hadn't been able to? His response, according to the talk show host, was because she was the one that helped him pay for the home.

According to Williams, the $70,000 was a "downpayment" on his new house to help him upgrade his situation. Williams also pointed out how it was unclear from the recording as to whether or not the money was a gift or a loan. But what was clear from the recorded conversation was how heavily involved Gemini's management was in bringing the two together.

According to EUR, during the recording Gemini stated that it was his manager who posted several photos of the two music artists together on Instagram to "creat a stir," reported the site. He recalled a time where he deleted one of the photos of the two of them together and immediately received a phone call from his manager urging him to put the photo back up insisting that the two them together will increase his album sales.

"My manager was like, 'No, bring it back. How the hell are you going to sell the album?'" Gemini recalled from his conversation with his manager after removing the photo as reported by EUR.

Sparks even caught wind of the leaked conversation and responded to her ex on Instagram with this post:

Looks like Sparks is looking to herself for love because from the looks of it, she won't find it with her ex.
