Dottie Peoples is alive and well
One of the pitfalls of the Internet is fake celebrity death rumors. The latest phony news involves an African American gospel singer beloved in Virginia and beyond. A YouTube video falsely states that Dottie Peoples died after falling in her bathroom.
Another video indicated the gospel icon died from cancer, but she has come forward to set the record straight and tell her fans the rumors are not valid. People said calls began coming into her home, and one friend said she was so distraught she pulled over on the side of the road.
Dottie Peoples remains relevant
Dottie Peoples said false rumors like this could cause someone to have a wreck, and something should be done to stop this. It’s believed the false information was AI-generated.
One of People’s most popular songs He’s an on Time God can still be heard on the radio and in some Virginia churches today. In June, the seventy-three-year-old gospel singer married Michael Aaron.
