A copy of a police report obtained by gossip website TMZ.com reveals former Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly may have overdosed on a combination of cocaine and heroine.
The police report states that Kelly, 34, may have ingested a cocaine and heroine substance known as a “speedball,” the night before he died.
From US Weekly.com:
According to the report, Kelly’s mother, Donna Kelly Pratt, was the one who called 911 and told police about her son’s drug use. She allegedly told investigators that Kelly had an “extensive history of drug use,” and she had taken him home to recover before he passed out.
Kelly’s mother said in a statement:
“It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Chris Kelly has passed away on May 1. To millions of fans worldwide, he was the trendsetting, backwards pants-wearing one-half of Kris Kross who loved making music. But to us, he was just Chris — the kind, generous and fun-loving life of the party. Though he was only with us a short time, we feel blessed to have been able to share some incredible moments with him. His legacy will live on through his music, and we will forever love him.”
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office conducted an autopsy on Kelly today to determine the exact cause of death.

Damn shame. Now JD says he’s like a son…ok…sure he was JD.
“MAY HAVE”
ION care either way though…
for his family…
This makes me so sad. Dying at 34 is never natural. But I was really hoping this was something other than drugs. So sad.
Auntie, can you obtain audio of the interview he did yesterday morning?
That is so sad………he was such a baby in that photo, little did anyone know later…
DID IS SAD SO SAD
Same difference. A 2yo is dead.

It’s apples and oranges to me though. I care more about the 16 here the night, 3 dead, than this djm

to the cottonball comment lawd!
:Thankyou: God that I’m just plain CRAZY without the use of drugs.
I feel like I did when I found out the lead singer of HI Five died of a drug overdose. I swear, it just seems so simple to most of us to Just Say No. To look at it from the outside it’s like “you see what it does to others…so why would you do it?” But we can’t fathom what goes through people’s minds when they take that first hit. Gawd this bums me out.
sad to hear this…kinda expected thats what happened R.I.P.
will return when the topic changes
humongus fluffy cotton balls

OTB, think about where I am. There are folks dying daily from illegally purchased guns. I look at hunters guns differently.
So sad. Ive heard you will be addicted off of one “taste”
Damn… hope he is resting peacefully…
Hey huntys

Just plain sad…I personally believe that in the Black Community we look at seeking therapy as being “crazy”….mental and emotional instabilities are considered illnesses (in which need to be professionally treated). Let’s do better y’all. May GOD bring his family peace during these difficult times.
Chile I use to love me some Kriss Kross and still have they damn cassette tape

If he was strung out on drugs hopefully he’s at peace now… Watching family struggle with substance abuse is hard so my condolence to his fam..
i know life is hard or whatever, but doing heroine and hard drugs isn’t the business. i’d rather get clowned for talking to a shrink about my issues, than doping up and dying with a tarnished imagine. either way folks gone talk down, so why not take the positive route to a better outlook on things.
Hell I didn’t even know he had a drug problem
I hate every demon that makes people drug themselves to death. rip

“SO me and Mama (had a nerve in her shoulder repaired) was talking about drugs and such..she will suffer thru pain before she takes anything heavier than her tylenol. Even tho she has scripts for the chit kids knock whole houses over for.

I am thinking about where you are. Im thinking about my cousin who was just gunned down Saturday at a Crab Fest in the backwoods too. 10k ppl around but fewls still blasted. Im betting they stole the gun from someone who purchased them..legally.
Adam Lanza killed that amount of kids with his mama’s legally purchased gun, if we thinking in numbers.

^^ I heard the same thing. Probably what has kept me clear of it. I’m the type afraid to take anything that hasn’t grown from the ground.. I had a tooth pulled and had my momma boil me some leaves…..I don’t EVER wanna experience the type of pain I’d have to be in before taking that prescription stuff..

Hey Maids.
Wasn’t he already ill? I thought there was some type of rumor circulating some years ago that he was ill?
Forgive me if someone already asked…I ain’t read not n’an other post today.
Some of the things these child stars see could prolly ruin them for life. Not many make it out the spotlight without some deeply embedded issues.

^^ True, hardest shii ever. You hate who drugs made em but, you still love em and remember how they were before the drugs got to em… I read a comment on a blog say ‘so he was high on drugs and you as his momma take him home to come down’…that aint fair, momma probably couldn’t do anything but, love her son without conditions and obviously that wasn’t enough.

But yeah, all these doctors aint’ nothin but drug peddlers themselves. I listen to the doctor but I only take a prescription as a LAST RESORT.
Hubby and I were talking about how JD is just like Puffy. Not blaming him for this whatsoever, just saying none of his artists are making music anymore. Rappers nowadays got to be smart and do other avenues aside from rapping. That’s why I don’t understand why Ross didn’t immediately apologize. Getting a check to wear sneakers. Sign me up.

but all in all, he is very nice guy, and I have a Aunt as well and I love her one of my favorite aunts.

May this young man now rest in peace. I believe many/most drug addicts/alcoholics are very sensitive souls. The ills of the world and pain and suffering of others affects them deeply and they’re not always able to “shake it off.” In this case, add to that the pressure of once being famous and chasing that very fame. Artists are often surrounded by drugs. He tried it and it got hold of his soul. The fact that his mother took him home to “recover” says he had people who cared deeply for him and tried to save his life.
I think Shirley from Whats Happening is the saddest Black Hollywood death. I think she was by herself for 2-3 weeks before being foundd?

Our wars over seas take over many resources we could be using to fight the wars we have here within our boarders. Mental illness that leads to drug abuse is a serious war our Govt. ignores. I don’t know a lot about this young man so, I don’t know if he had mental illness or if experimenting went too far but, we need to open our focus to more than just the issues Congress decides to play around with to fugg with the President… and I mean that for any administration; not just this one.

I’m sorry. That dayum Joseline is a FOOL.
On the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season Five reunion show NeNe Leakes suggested to RHOA producer Andy Cohen that one of the housewives should be replaced.
NeNe reveals her choice…
On Watch What Happens Live NeNe admitted to Andy that she was talking about Porsha and Kordell Stewart.
NeNe tells Andy,
“Yes, I did feel that Porsha at that time needed to leave the show because there was something – I’m a good judge of character; I’ve been blessed, child, I’ve been given a gift – and I kept feeling like Porsha and Kordell were not being real enough.”
