Kris Kross’ Chris Kelly Took Cocaine And Heroin Night Before His Death, Says Friend
Kris Kross’ Chris Kelly, who died on Wednesday afternoon at the age of 34, took cocaine and heroin the day before he passed away.
That’s according to Donna Kelly Pratt, who is listed in a police investigation report as a “close friend” of the rapper but is actually believed to be Kelly’s mother.
Access Hollywood obtained a copy of the police report, in which Pratt says Chris Kelly took a mixture of heroin and cocaine the night before his sudden death. She added that “they brought Kelly home to recover from his drug use and had done this several times in the past.”
Pratt says Kelly, who was one half of ’90s rap duo Kris Kross, felt nauseous all Wednesday morning before passing out.
Lamar Williams, uncle of Chris Kelly, alleged in the report that his nephew “had an extensive history of drug abuse.”
Access Hollywood also notes that Kelly conducted a phone interview with a “DJ Akini” for “The Streetz Morning Grind” radio show in Atlanta just hours before his death.
“You know how I party,” Kelly said during the interview.
“You know I don’t wanna hear that,” responded Akini.
“I know man, I apologize,” came Kelly’s reply.
You can hear Chris Kelly and Akini’s conversation at the station’s website.
Kris Kross shot to fame in the ’90s when their hit song “Jump” topped charts across the globe. The rap duo, who were famous for wearing their clothes backwards on stage, recently staged a comeback performance at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. You can see the video for “Jump” below:
