    Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly of the iconic rap group Kris Kross passed away on May 1, 2013 at the young age of 34.

    Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly of Kris Kross has passed away at the age of 34.

    [THROWBACK:?TLC, Kris Kross & Marky Mark on Oprah… (VIDEO)]

    Kris Kross 5 StraightFromTheAWord spread quickly through Atlanta’s tight knit entertainment community last night that Kelly had died at his home from unknown causes… and since there’s been many a celebrity “killed” on the internet, I decided to inquire with a few sources close to the rapper before moving forward with the news.

    On a related note, I interviewed Kelly at his home several years ago when an unfounded internet rumor spread about his health and at that time, he adamantly disputed that he had any health issues.
