I voted yes, but this being a "negative question" I might have had to answer no.

the CMB was created when the young universes turned optically thin and stars were not yet created. so what we are seeing is the radiation of a "primordial entity" which was optically thick up until that moment.

So, the CMB is not created by stars, it was created by the whole universe at that time, and stars did not exist yet.
