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.

This is some sad sh*t. Not because of his skin disorder but because he looks like a homeless person.
Still wearing his pants backwards?

@#70, no one is making fun of him……People are just curious as to why he is still rocking his pants backwards. Sick or not….he should have turned them around a long time ago.

Much respect to him. I loved Kris Kross, he should just go and shave his hair off, he wouldn’t look bad. Much respect with what he got going, I know its prolly hard to deal with what he has. I swear Kris Kross started the sagging phase though.

It is obvious this dude in suffering from some form of a mental breakdown. I feel bad about his condition, but I am wondering why in the world would he try to hold on to those few strands of hair that he has left??? Why not cut it off and go all the way bald?

While some of y’all are talking about him having cancer or being sick etc,the article above says various sources says he has alopecia areata..maybe whomever is asking what’s wrong with him should read the article on this disease instead of jumping to conclusions and saying things about him that are not true.

Usually, when people have Cancer, their hair falls out due to the Chemotherapy Treatments. It makes your hair fall out kind of in patches the way his hair looks now. Thats why most people just shave it off during Chemo, because its just too much for most patients to see their hair falling ot in clumps like that, so they just knipp it in the bud and take care of that early. But the thing with Chemo is when or if you are done with the treatment, the hair usually grows back all the way. For some, the texture changes when it grows back, for instance…you may have had naturally straight hair before chemo & after chemo, it grows back curley. But it usually grows back fully which makes me wonder if he has cancer or ever did. But nonetheless, it’s good seeing him again!

You know what…on second thought, after reading about his dieses, God bless him. We don’t know what this brother’s going through to be out in public looking like this, but God bless him.

You all are too funny. Kris Kross was out back in the day. They are two years older than me. OMG #31, you are soo damn wrong (Reverse Mohawk). That’s too damn funny. I was at Piedmont Park earlier this week and i didn’t see him out there. You know the kids would have READ him…LOL naw, let me stop being me. This dude is living his life to the fullest while he is dealing with his illness.
BTW, I would have put on a hat.

There are so many comments here that are just….
Sometimes people go through their bad times while holding onto good memories….He still wears his pants backwards because it reminds of the good times. So let us not be the ones to damper his spirits. You don’t know what a person is going through unless you are the person, so think about yourselves and let people live.

@112…thanks for all the informative info on cancer….but he doesn’t have cancer; he has Alopecia areata and chemo is not even a treatment for this particular disease. He just has a condition that causes hair loss- please see update/check the link.

He obviosly is comfortable and confident with whatever condition he has….It’s takes a strong person (unlike most of you all) not conform to society.
CONFORMITY BREEDS MEDIOCRITY
They have been on their on stuff from day one. That’s how JD discovered them….rocking the pants backwards….I wonder how many people hatted on them back then for doing that before they were discovered??????
I congratulate you Kriss Kross!!! Much success in all you do!!!

@107 and 111
Do you all see where Angel typed UPDATE…
If you read the 1st set of comments that info on Alopecia was not up there at first.
We had no way of knowing he was sick…. I simply thought he was crazy with backwards pants and a landing strip… Then she updated it so now we know…. I think he sould cut his hair and turn his pants around but he is free to do whatever he wants… Just my opinion.

Hey Folks, I too have a form or alopecia and it is very sad to see this young man like this. It seems easier for women because we have the best wigs around but for men, who wants to wear a toupee? Maybe it’s just too cold to wear a baldy if it’s something that he is not used to. When I first found out that my hair would not grow back in certain spots it was truly devastating but I have comfortable with it now after 8 years. Maybe Chris is comfortable this way. Maybe he is tired of hiding his issue. Some of us walk around with issues in hiding. Come on now- Do you hear me? But seriously pray that God will comfort him. Having Alopecia is not fun!

Oh good grief! The boy isn’t really sick sick. He just has an unfortunate condition that is esthetically problematic. He does seem to be a little off though. Still wearing his pants backwards? WTF?! What sane person wouldn’t cut that hair off? He looks like a whack job. He’s just inviting attention. Well, he’s gotten it.

What’s so crazy is that some of y’alls hair are falling out because of all the pulling and tugging from wearing braids and weaves and you are too ashamed that this is happening to you. That is a form of alopecia too.

He was my first crush! He is still fine, to me. Who cares about his hair, he doesn’t. Either we’re to dark, to skinny, to light, to fat, not enough hair, chest hair, to tall, wear weave (must be bald) …etc. Get a grip!
Glad to see him out and about
And he created the backward thing so to me he can still rock it if he wants to at least he isn’t showing ass! Like some of these young boys!

@124 I agree with you it takes alot not conform to society .
@128 Hold your head high.
Hopefully with this CL post those who had no clue about alopecia became more aware of it today. If he feels comfortable with his hair like that then let him be then. Maybe that is his way of educating masses; by not hiding anything.

Seriously, no words for some of the ignorance on here today….Nope, yes, i have a few words:
The man was minding his own business, just chillin at the park…he wasnt’ walking down melrose or at Nobu or Mr. Chow’s trying to get his picture taken! He looks shocked to have had someone just roll up and take that photo…Probably didnt’ think anyone would know who is he since he been outta the limelight since he was a child. If you look at the sequence of the pics, he looks like damn, here they come with the camera, then he tried to just look ahead and ignore their azzes, before finally deciding to walk away and leave.
His face don’t look old, he still look young, his hair is making him have a more mature appearance. And maybe his lips are darker cause he might smoke, not sure.
But I would just say please, don’t make a fun of him…what if you had to go through something like this? He obviously have a condition where it’s affecting his hair growth…I dunno, just cut the brotha a break, dayum…

Oh…please, people should stop being so sensitive, this is the INTERNET and you cannot police what people say…so cry us a river and go swim in it. I feel bad if dude has cancer, because that’s serious, but damn it, why hasn’t anyone close to him told him to let them scraps of hair go…just cut it off.

@137 IKANDI
Have you thought that maybe someone close did ask him to cut his hair..surely if you all feel so strongly about, perhaps someone close to him share your feelings.
But did you also consider he’s a grown azz man, and just like anyone else can choose to wear his hair anyone way he likes…Did anyone stop to think he’s holding onto it for sentimental purposes or something like that? Or maybe just some hair on his head makes him feel better than having no hair. Who knows….But he has the same right to wear his hair as he pleases as anyone else…Same as them men who balding on the top and wear comb overs….whatever…it’s their perogative…
Some of us can wear our hair in so many different styles….his styling is very limited, and i dunno, i just feel like when a person has a DISORDER, all jokes and judgements should be out the door, but that’s just me..CARRY ON…

JSCENE we can do this all day, it’s a slow day at work for me but I won’t..*FINAL COMMENT*, people are entitled to their opinions, if we weren’t this site would have a open comment box. Okay, so dude doesn’t want his hair cut… *applaud* It doesn’t refute the fact that, it looks crazy as hell and yes that’s an insensitive approach but once again, you cannot police people’s thought processes. I hope all is well with him, I hope they find a cure! It doesn’t change my mind of all of the other people who look at that picture and FIRST response, which is the most honest, is to be like wtf.

OK - he has a hair loss disease, but common sense should still tell him to SHAVE HIS HEAD. As for still “rocking his pants backwards” he needs to accept the fact that his day in the sun is over and times have changed. The whole thing reminds me of Eddie Cain in the Five Heartbeats showing up outside the concert with that gold vest under his coat, thinkin it was still hot. Move on.

@87 you must be blind b/c ppl were picking at him maybe b/c they didnt know but tht just clearifies tht you shouldnt talk about ppl unless you know the situation and as far as his pants being backwards…..ummmm thts his pants and as long as you wear your pants the way you want too than dont worry bout it. Ppl these days worry so much about other ppl instead of themselves. You probably do things or wear your clothes in ways that our ppl dont like…will you stop no b/c thts you and if they hatin then thts them so yeah whatever!
