SPOTTED: FORMER KRIS KROSS MEMBER IN ATL
Thursday, February 12, 2009

A CL Reader spotted former Kris Kross member Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly, 30, at Piedmont park in ATL earlier this week. The former 90s rap star, was just chilling and enjoying the atmosphere. He was still rocking his pants backwards like he did in the 90s. (UPDATED): According to various sources he has Alopecia Areata that’s why he is balding in certain areas.
As of 2007, the group supposedly reunited and are currently working on different projects with Jermaine Dupri. & word is he has his own label called C.co records. No word on what his former group member Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith is doing.

dang, look @his hair but honestly I remember when his hair was starting to get ball spots in it when he was little. I think it would be a good look to cut it all off.

Ya’ll need to chill out with the negative comments about dude.. He does have a particular health situation from what I read a while back. As Long as he is maintaining his health and enjoying life I see no problem.

I remember hearing about him being ill years ago, too. I also remember when his hair first started to fall out, so a sickness is probably what’s causing the hair loss.
The backwards pants, though? Let it go.
Thirty years old is right. I remember when they first came out they were 11 and 12, that was in late 91-early 92.

Yall are hilarious! However, this is somewhat sad and interesting. Im about to be 30 and I remember they were the same age as me…this is the one I had a crush on….It’s sad cause he got lukemia at a very young age…so that is why he has “interesting” hair…it’s interesting and somewhat inspiring cause this fool is like damn you all…Im not cutting my hair off…Im gonna rock the reverse mohawk all day!

He may be sick, but I think a hair cut will make him feel better, at least he’ll look better.

Although i agree it is sad, but i remember I read that he suffers from alopecia which causes his hair to fall out. It’s evident on their third album cover http://myplay.com/files/i..._images/dxc__uu578395.jpg

According to several reports from Google, it was falsely reported that he had leukemia, he actually had alopecia.

Why didn’t he just cut that shyt off of his head?! He looks like a cross between Fire Marshall bill and a cancer-patient. He clearly doesn’t give a damn what people think of him….

Yeah that looks like Alopecia, a close of friend of mine has it, your body basically sees your hair as a germ and it rids ifself of it.
They have a lot of treatment options available but its rough. And it doesn’t just make your hair fall out to where you have a low cut it makes you completely bald, so even if you cut all your hair off you can still tell because the completely bald patches stand out against the areas where your have hair follicles. Poor guy!

I agree with Brian, he should just rock a baldy, and the backwards jeans…why?! sidenote- I remember when they first came out and I was dyin to wear my pants backwards to school and my mom was like ” Absolutely Not!”

First of all, all you guys that are talking bad about him, you guys need to SHUT THE *&@# UP. If he is happy with his hair like that, make him wear his hair like that. Obviously, he has a sickness that affects his hair. His hair was falling out like that when he was younger. I’m sure there is something on you that someone may not like or feel you should do this to your hair or do this to your ragedy teeth, but that is your life. And if you are happy, the hell what anyone things. SO GET A LIFE!!!

He should let that whole backwards thing go, seriously your 30 need not to say anything more.

I am with #1 WOW, is he still rocking his jeans backwards, no way, the baldspot no comment. I actually feel sorry for the former Kriss Kross memeber, where is Jermaine Dupre, he looks like he could use a little help man.

For all of you who are making fun of this man are going to regret tht. Just remember you are still living your life and you can be in the same situtation or worse b/c God dont like ugly. Just remember karama is a bitch and she is real. He dont have to cut off his hair if he dont want to its his and God gave it to him. He’s probably just thankful for the hair is does have. So you all need to pray and ask God for forgiveness or you will have to face the fact that you are picking at a sick man. Keep ya head up Chris and God Bless You!!!

OMG yall must be young as hell or late as hell! Everyone knows about his condition. During their last album he wore his hair bald because of it.
I don’t know why he is letting it grow out now cause it’s not a good look.
I use to LOVE me some Kriss Kross! Lol, I had their posters all over my room when I was 10
