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

    It had been suspected that the 90s hip hop star died of a drug overdose and?an odd 911 call?released shortly after the young rapper’s death, didn’t do much to quell those suspicions (click?HERE?if you missed that).

    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.

    Around 9:30pm last night I received a text from an industry source that confirmed the horrible news was true… Chris ‘Mac Daddy’ Kelly from the Atlanta rap group Kris Kross was gone.

        PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to t PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to the words that came out of Colorist Claudia’s own mouth. Again… can someone please point out where I’ve ever LIED on this woman??? When have I ever played the victim?? And how on earth did her being a colorist get to be about Nene Leakes?? Colorist Claudia is delusional and for those who are wondering, she left this lengthy voice message via DM to one of my subscribers (a complete stranger to both of us) who innocently asked her why she won’t take accountability for her words. I’m done beating this dead horse but after over 15 years blogging, one thing I have NEVER done is lie. When you find one, let me know. Until then, I’m always gonna call it how I see it whether you like it or not!!! #straightfromthea #atlien #atlienlive #claudiajordan #foxsoul #rhoa #bravotv #teagif #colorism #blackhistorymonth #truthhurts
        PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jord PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jordan has continuously said colorist hateful things?? Her words have all been caught on tape but she has always placed the blame on someone else. First it’s her “boyfriend” who leaked a tape of her saying racist, colorist things and then it’s me, a blogger who GOOGLED the colorist hateful things that she’s said. When does she take accountability? I’m confused. Instead of playing the victim Caren Colorist Claudia, perhaps you should address the colorist racist things that you say and continue to say online. Don’t worry, just like you have a platform, so do I. And I will keep my foot on your neck for as long as you continue to accuse me of lying on you. WHERE IS THE LIE???? #straightfromthea #atlienlive #foxsoul #claudiajordan #colorism #teagif #rhoa #bravotv #blackhistorymonth (let me know if y’all want me to post part 2 if this clip)
