In the viral clip, CeCe Winanssays, “When you aim to please God…then a lot of offers that come my way…I don’t even have to think about.”
She continued:
One of my dear friends who has gone on to be with the Lord, praise God. She was so famous…she was so famous and she let me know that I didn’t want to be famous…was Whitney Houston.
She was my dear sister and friend. And I remember she was about to do one of her big videos and it was ‘I’m Every Woman.’
It’s a great video, right? A really nice…good…the song is when you think about how it was written it’s a great song, right?
But, the lyrics don’t line up with the word of God, right?
So, she said, ‘CeCe, I want you to be in the video. But, I know you not gone be in it.’
I said, ‘You’re absolutely right.’
Because it started off with, ‘I can cast a spell.’ I’m not singing that!
But, notice how that message was all wrapped up in a beat.
Ya’ll get so hooked onto these beats and it’s like demonic.
You’re listening to demonic stuff and you’re wondering why you don’t know what’s going on.
