A royal backlash indeed for legendary ‘Throne Room’ hitmaker CeCe Winans after the Gospel diva was among the celebrities featured in a President Donald Trump-ordered ad designed to reassure the country about the current administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
With the associated death toll at 204,000 at writing, Trump’s lax reaction to the health crisis has been widely criticized – a tide he was hoping to turn by teaming with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to launch a $300 million advertising campaign highlighting their reactive efforts.
To assist, HHS enlisted the likes of Dennis Quaid and Winans to reach audiences – a move that’s incited backlash for both participants, especially the latter. So much so, the 12-time GRAMMY winner took to Twitter Friday (September 25) to defend her actions.
See what she said inside:
Taking to social media late Friday night, Winans said:
Look below to see highlights of some of the commentary that led to Winans’ video message above.

For Winans’ involvement, she interviewed with the Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams to discuss best practices for safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ad is due to roll out in the coming weeks.
A representative for CeCe, Chaz Corzine, suggested her willing participation was a result of learning members of her legendary musical family – namely brothers Marvin and Bebe Winans – both contracted the disease.
“She volunteered her time participating in the PSA and was happy to do so because of her concerns about how Covid has and is impacting the African American community.”

the party agrees with cece….
I don’t care about this or what happened. I believed God used Trump who is low, to get people to come back to him. As in, MAKE GOD GREAT AGAIN!!! For those who is lost…..
Until she appears in public with a MAGA hat on like that d***** kanye, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.
I love you CeCe, supporter of Trump or not

A true clown!
I hope she enjoys her tax cut while her people die.
“Her people” will die under Democratic government. America’s black population is currently 13% and will be reduced to 3% in the next two decades due to abortion alone. Abortion is the number one killer for blacks in America.
LMAO!
Typical Christian Ignoramus!
African Americans are expected to remain at 13% of the population deep into 2050

Shayla Queen, no diss..but where did you get your information? I have never heard that abortion is the top killer of blacks.
Secondly, if I am being honest, I am troubled by your position. I find it a bit flawed. Abortion demonstrates an unwillingness to have children. So, if these individuals actually used contraception, then abortion wouldn’t be a factor. If What you say is true, then the top killer of Black People is ‘not enough of us are wanting to procreate’.
Lastly, have you looked into how many black people die as a result of lack of Healthcare? ..an issue that the Republican have not an answer for. If black people had adequate and regular access to healthcare, then it would prevent so many death.
@Shayla DRAGqueen your mommy should have aborted you.
Wow the way you schooled Shayla Peasant! She had no response lmao
Schooled? Me? Honey it’s common knowledge. Why do you think Planned Parenthoods are so strategically placed in BLACK neighborhoods by the DEMOCRATS. The same democrats who founded the KKK. Planned Parenthood turned down $60m this year because they were told it had to put into services OTHER than abortion. The Democrats want blacks RELYING on them for food stamps, stuck in poor areas, aborting their babies etc etc. Look how well blacks are doing under Trump and they hate to see it! Record low unemployment rate in blacks! Open your eyes and see who the real enemy is. TRUMP IS NOT YOUR ENEMY. That’s how they spin it though because the only way they get by is to lie and cheat.
Her people are already dying under the current REPUBLICAN government in larger numbers than any administration in history. But keep blaming the democrats for everything lol.😆🤡
@Shayla Queen
Hi Shayla, me again. I Just wanted to clarify that my response is not an intended diss. I simply have a difference of opinion, and wanted to respectfully inquire. As a critical thinker, I have found some negative claims made of the Democrat Party to not fit together. For example, if the Dems want BlackPeople poor and dependent on the Gov’t for food stamps, etc..then wouldn’t they be against Abortion? Logically speaking, wouldn’t More Children = More Dependency?..therefore they should be against Abortion, but they arent.
Additionally, it is the goal of every political party [Rep, Dem, Liberterian, Green, etc] to expand their number count. Thus, the Dems fighting for citizen status of the Undocumented. If true, wouldn’t this be another reason for Dems to be against abortion? IMHO, I believe Dems being for abortion has nothing to do with ‘killing black babies’..and everything to do with their firm believe in a Woman’s right to choose, even if that choice does not increase their voting block.
Guess she is season’s Chrisette Michele….
I’m a Christian first but Trump is a charlatan. Make America great again is make blacks in their place again. Martin Luther King was considered a rebel in his time…these dark days must be recognized as #1 a need for God #2 recognize your enemy =Trump is not your friend!
Please look up #WALKAWAY and see the truth. Black people are being USED by the Democrats and you’re falling for it. Record numbers of blacks are opening their eyes and walking away from them. These are the same Democrats that founded the KKK. Do you know Joe Biden’s racist history? He’s still racist now. #WALKAWAY
Lmao you clowns have been using that same fairy tale to demonize Democrats for decades, while in reality all the evildoing and manipulative brainwashing has been coming from every republican administration that has ever been in power. Like Harriet Tubman said, the worst slaves are the ones who don’t realize they’re slaves.
Shayla Queen go tap dance for the white man on another site.
BE QUIET, JUST BE QUIET. ALL YOU HAVE IS OPINIONS WHICH IS GREAT BUT STOP ACTING LIKE THEY ARE FACTS
@SHAYLA LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
