Chris Kelly’s Former Rap Partner Mourns His Death
Former kiddie rapper Chris Kelly was 18 when he purchased his first home for $307,500 at the peak of his fame as one half of the multiplatinum rap group Kris Kross. The home has depreciated in value $100K since then.
Kelly was found unresponsive in that home by his mother, Donna Kelly Pratt, who frantically dialed 911 after Kelly complained of feeling nauseated and passed out.
Kelly, 34, was pronounced dead around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Atlanta Medical Center’s south campus.
His mother later told police that her son ingested a combination of cocaine and heroine, known as a “speedball.” Pratt said Kelly had a history of drug abuse.
The traditional style 3,067 square foot home on Stoneleigh Drive in southwest Atlanta has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The 2-story home is just a stone’s throw from the Greenbrier mall where Kelly and his best friend, Chris Kelly, both 12, were discovered rapping by an up-and-coming music producer.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reportedly buy Bel Air mansion
Supposedly, socialite Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West have purchased a 10,000-square-foot, $11 million mansion in a gated community in Bel Air, CA., where they plan to raise their test tube baby. I’ll believe it when I see pictures of Kanye walking down the driveway wearing boxers and a robe to pick up the morning paper or to check the mailbox.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes consider $200,000-a-month NYC rental
This is beyond ridiculous! I am not one to tell anyone how they should spend their finances, but $200,000 a month on a duplex when there are children starving in the world? Just because you have the means doesn’t mean you should be reckless and wasteful with it.
According to online reports, Cruise and Holmes “fell in love” with a two-story penthouse apartment in Donald Trump’s building on Park Avenue.
The duplex has a huge terrace, four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a den, a library, dining room and kitchen – and boasts 360 degree views of Manhattan.Trump building boss Michael Cohen tells the New York Post, “She saw it and she loved it. They’re very interested and are now making their decision.” (Source)
At least they’re not buying the penthouse so they won’t be stuck with a home mortgage of $200,000-a-month. The penthouse is on the market for a staggering $45 million.
Young Jeezy Covers VIBE Magazine
Young Jeezy is on the cover of VIBE magazine’s August issue on stands now. Inside, Jeezy talks about sharing a hug with Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Saturday Night Live:
No disrespect to my man Barack [Obama]…. [McCain] greeted me like a G. … The fact that he acknowledged me was crazy. I said, ‘I’m Young Jeezy, and it’s rough out here.’ He blew me off at first. I was like, ‘Nah, for real. It’s rough out here, so what you gonna do to change it?’ … I like Barack, but at the same time I wanted to see what McCain was talking about.
Jeezy said he asked McCain if he had any plans for the hood: ‘You gotta fix it, you know that, right?’ And he gave me a look back, like, ‘I know.’ “
Jeezy also opens up about his relationship with Keyshia Cole which ended on a sour note earlier this year when Keyshia dumped him for flamboyant ex-boxer Floyd Mayweather. Jeezy tells VIBE that Keyshia proposed to him and offered to buy the ring, but Jeezy turned her down.
There’s no mention in the article of the fact that Jeezy paid cash for Keyshia’s $750,000 Atlanta mansion or that he gave Keyshia the deed to the property. My source says Keyshia ultimately left Jeezy because Jeezy simply couldn’t compete with Mayweather’s substantial bankroll (after all, a girl has to eat).
In addition to that, my inside source tells me Mayweather dropped a cool $3 Mil on an Atlanta mansion for Keyshia and he also picked up the tab on Keyshia’s swanky Buckhead condo (seen in her reality TV show).
All I can say is, it must be nice!
A Home Fit for Two Queens: Jay Z and Bey’s pad
This is the dream home newlyweds Jay Z and Beyonce are having built in the leafy suburb of Scarsdale, NY. It’s not as big or as fabulous as Mary J. Blige‘s spread, but it’s definitely larger than the bachelor pad Jay Z shared with his man Larry Johnson.
According to TMZ.com. Construction work is still taking place on the 15,000sq-ft modern colonial-style home. Although the couple own property in Manhattan, this is the first property they will own jointly.
