Grammy award-winning artist BeBe Winans is the latest celebrity to open up about his coronavirus diagnosis. He then shared that his mother Dolores Winans and brother Pastor Marvin Winans, Sr. also tested positive for COVID-19 — but gratefully they are all recovering now!
BeBe recently went to Instagram to clear up rumors saying that Marvin was on a respirator.
In an interview with SiriusXM’s The Joe Madison Show, the R&B/Gospel icon shares the battle that he, his 83-year old mother, and 64-year old brother had to face.
“Sometimes, for some reason, we as a people when we look in and we look at television and various things that’s going on around us, we somehow say, that can’t happen to me for some reason,” he explained. “I don’t know why, but sometimes we believe that, and even myself being cautious, when the outbreak started, I did just a little travel. I was actually in New York and I was like, well, I’m going to Detroit because I had a friend pass and we were having a funeral and just that little travel, I caught it.”
BeBe shared that exercise played a big role in his recovery. For those who follows BeBe on Instagram, are familiar with his “Get It Done” posts — videos where he delivers inspiration and encourages viewers to get motivated before going on his morning runs.
“So, being on the other side of it now, I’m just grateful that the word, I just finished my run and through the whole run, I was just saying, God, I thank you. I thank you because it could have been a different outcome for me and my family.”
He added, “I’m going to do what’s best for me, and that is keep moving health-wise in my mind and my spirit,” he added. “Keep the spirit moving. You can sit still and keep your spirit moving. I read a whole bunch. I didn’t know I could read so well.”
