After his mother and friends confirmed rapper Chris Kelly’s drug use, it is now being reported that Kris Kross‘ recent comeback may have contributed to his death as well.
According to TMZ:
Kris Kross‘ recent comeback … and the money that came with it … put Mac Daddy on a drug-fueled road to self-destruction, sources close to the deceased rapper tell TMZ.
Sources tell us, Mac Daddy — real name Chris Kelly — has been on and off drugs (including cocaine and heroin) for the last ten years, but had recently cleaned up his act.
We’re told that changed dramatically in recent weeks, following Kris Kross’ big comeback concert in Atlanta back in February.
According to sources, Kelly’s ego blew up … along with his wallet … and he started hanging out in clubs again, chumming up with big name Atlanta rappers. We’re told the drugs came back in full force as a result.
His mother also told police that the rapper had been taking speedballs (coke and heroin), the night before he died.
An autopsy will determine the cause of death.
Rest in peace Mac Daddy!
