Gospel star Earnest Pugh is feeling the wrath of Dionne Warwick this morning after he incorrectly announced the death of Whitney Houston‘s mother — someone who’s very much alive, according to Dionne.
Earnest shook up the Internet Wednesday with a now-scrubbed post about the “passing” of Cissy Houston, who is also Dionne’s aunt … so, it didn’t take long for Dionne to call BS and throw some serious shade.
My Aunt Cissy is very much alive. This Earnest Pugh needs to get a life and stay out of other peoples lives!

Dionne told the world Cissy is still with us, adding “This Earnest Pugh needs to get a life and stay out of other peoples lives!”
Friend of the Houston family and fellow Gospel singer Kim Burrell echoed the good news, minus the sass … saying, “Please respect her life as she continues to live. She’s home. Thank you all🙏🏽”
Good to hear Cissy’s alive and well after all — and, not shockingly, Earnest has yet to respond to Dionne.
Smart move.
