(AllHipHop News) After a week of mourning and speculation that Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly died of a drug overdose, funeral services have officially been planned for the former childhood star from the rap duo Kris Kross.
While cocaine and heroin are likely to be the deadly combination that took the life of Chris Kelly, police have not revealed the toxicology results yet.
In addition, Kelly’s mother told police that Kelly had become sick after using the deadly combination of drugs often called “speed-balling.”
The Murray Brothers Funeral Home in Atlanta, Georgia will hold a public viewing for Kelly in the afternoon and evening on Wednesday (May 8).
The funeral services will take place on Thursday (May 9) at Jackson Memorial Baptist Church.
Chris Kelly’s passing comes just weeks after he re-united with fellow Kris Kross member Chris Smith for the So-So Def 20th Anniversary All-Star concert.
The group was said to be joining a possible So-So Def reunion tour in the coming months.
DJ Mister Cee of Hot 97 finds himself in controversy as he has been charged with solicitation of a male prostitutes and his cohorts are commenting on the matter. , the popular DJ at Hot 97, was arrested for trying to solicit a male prostitute. according to reports. As you may know, Cee was arrested on Saturday for trying to hook up with a male h#####. Not a lot of people have commented, but program director Ebro Darden is talking on the social network Twitter! Whoa! What’s to come of Mister Cee at this point. My thoughts: if Cee was a regular dude, he’d have lost his job.
Now you know, last time Cee got col’ busted, Flex was riding crazy for his boy. This time around, he’s just doing his job and reporting what happened. Damn. Must hurt a bit.
On the flip side, all is quiet on the twitter front, even from the other people at Power 105. But a lot of people will be listening to see what they have to say.
*note to self* put earbuds in your purse right now!!! so you wont miss breakfast club monday morning! @angelayee @cthagod
(AllHipHop News) Queensbridge bred rapper Nas is asking a judge to dismiss a New Jersey promoter’s $10 million lawsuit.
The suit stems from the promoter being kidnapped in Angola for 50 days after Nas didn’t appear at a Luanda New Years Eve concert scheduled in December of 2011.
While Nas say that the dispute was already resolved out of court by paying back a $300,000 advance, the promoter wants $10 million for being beaten and threatened at gunpoint while kidnapped in Angola.
According to TMZ, Nas filed court documents earlier this week asserting the dispute was settled during the promoter’s kidnapping, which eventually came to the attention of the United States State Department.
As part of the agreement, Patrick Allocco agreed not to sue for the incident, that also resulted in his son Patrick Jr.’s alleged kidnapping by Angolan promoter Henrique “Riquhino” Miguel and his associates.
Nas is also asking for a dismissal of the suit due to the fact that the promoter agreed to be “human security” for the concert prior to Nas agreeing to perform.
The Illmatic rapper says he refused to show up to the concert after a breach of contract on the Allocco’s behalf as plane tickets were botched and advance payments were late.
UH SHEEEEEEET!!! Somebody put a bun in Kreayshawn’s oven! The word on the street is the White Girl Mob leader is going to have her first kid. I don’t know who the father is, but I hope he’s a black dude. They can call him n***a. Sorry. I should not have said that. Anyway, seriously, happy baby, KreayKreay! Remember, illseed is always willing to be the godfather!
Rumor on the block is Reebok is looking to replace Rick Ross with another urban specialist to get the darker people to cop their shoes. I say that respectfully. Anyway. You won’t believe it. BOW WOW is allegedly one of the people that the brand is eyeballing. I mean, rappers are falling left and right with these sponsorships. Looks like Bow Wow is safe and he’s also on TV every day. This rumor started with Bow Wow himself, because he made a post on his Facebook talking about a meeting he was having. Not sure if he can drive sales, but he probably shouldn’t talk about his business dealings until the ink dries.
On the other side, I heard that Tyler The Creator losing his Mountain Dew Endorsement was just a sidebar and a reaction to the Lil Wayne / Rick Ross stuff. Basically. It wasn’t that silly online video in and of itself…it was fear of further controversy.

(AlHipHop News) Gucci Mane is presently on house arrest in Atlanta, not completely free as previously reported.
The rapper must also undergo random drug and alcohol testing. He was released last week on $75,000 bond.
Gucci was incarcerated for hitting a man in the head with a champagne bottle at the Atlanta nightclub.
James Lettley, a U.S. Army E6 Staff Sergeant, said he was just celebrating his birthday with his wife when the attack occurred.
“Because Mr. Lettley was a fan of defendant Davis and his music, Mr. Lettley approached a member of defendant Davis’ entourage who was standing at the VIP area and asked if he could take a picture with defendant Davis, mentioning that he was a soldier serving his country, celebrating his birthday,” says a complaint filed in Fulton County Court.
Gucci Mane was subsequently charged with aggravated assault.
On Twitter, Gucci Mane recently proclaimed “I’m back.”
Floyd Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO) 146 lbs vs Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO) 147 lbs
Tonight The Money Team (TMT) ringleader, Floyd “Money” Mayweather, puts his 43-0 record on the line against southpaw Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the WBC Title.
Its been about a year since Mayweather’s last fight against Cotto, and a lot has changed since then. Floyd has served jail time for a domestic dispute turned violent, he had beef with former friend and TMT member 50 Cent, he patched up his relationship with his father and he left HBO for Showtime in a $250 million deal.
While Floyd has a had a little bit of trouble with lefty’s like Jose Luis Castillo, Zab Judah and DeMarcus “Chop-Chop” Corley, Floyd has always remained victorious and despite a few close calls, Floyd defense has remained impenetrable.
This fight is a fight that Guerrero has wanted for some time as he has called out Floyd on multiple occasions to fight over the past few years. After showing that he could fight in the welterweight class, many boxing analysts say this will be a test for Floyd as the rust from jail and father time are factors creeping up on his undefeated record.
From solitary confinement, back to the gym, Floyd has become the highest paid sports athlete of all time, but he is 36 years of age now, and Guerrero thinks Floyd’s legs are getting tired and the money and entourages are getting to his head. This is undoubtably a fight of polar opposites, as Guerrero’s small town and humble demeanor goes up against sport’s biggest superstar. It’s May Day, its Cinco de Mayo, get your popcorn ready, this will be a show.

(AllHipHop News) They wanted it, and now the Till Family feels that they can move on since Mountain Dew dropped Lil Wayne from their “DeWeezy” campaign.
Airickca Gordon-Taylor, Executive Director of Mamie Till Mobley Foundation, said the following in a statement.
“Back in February, when I first heard the lyrics, I was in utter shock, disappointment and sadness. Just as Mamie Till Mobley didn’t endure the pain of losing Emmett Till alone, many people have stood in solidarity with our family, even if it wasn’t the most popular stand to take.
“The road less traveled is surely not the easiest but standing for your principles provides the endurance needed to fight for human and civil rights. This decision was monumental, we commend Mountain Dew for taking action towards better social responsibility, and now I finally feel that we can exhale and focus on our beloved Mamie Till Mobley’s charge, “Let’s get on with the business of positive thinking and living”.”
Simeon Wright was an eyewitness to the kidnapping of Emmett Till. He was shocked that the Pepsi-owned Mountain Dew decided to cut ties with one of the biggest rappers out.
“This is beyond my expectations, I’m pleased that it happened and it shouldn’t waited for public outcry. Anything that belittles or degrades the memory of Emmett Till shouldn’t be in the public square,” Wright said. “Racism is still out there. Whatever you listen too, whatever you do, get an education. ‘Don’t let this system destroy you.'”
Had the Till Family simply gotten the apology they deserved, this may not have happened.
As you probably already can tell, I’m not all that in tune with what’s going on with Boosie, but my readers do. So, here is a cool letter about him that shows a more human side. But, another of my sources told me that Boosie will be home at the end of May.
Torrence Hatch was acquitted. What happens with Marlo Mike doesn’t affect Torrence Hatch. The charge he initially received locked him up, to ultimately bring forth the charges he was recently acquitted of. Now, that initial charge was his first offense for that particular charge. Providing he didn’t have those additional charges for supposedly smuggling contraband. He would be out now. With all that said, he could be out as early as the summer, but most likely early 2014. Unfortunately there is still that good O’l boy spirit that walks the halls of East Baton Rouge’s legal system. They pretty mad they couldn’t convict him on that. More so that he ‘s living just as comfortable, if not better than the prominent rich doctors and lawyers in Baton Rouge. I’m not proclaiming we’re besties, but I did attend high school with him. All in all that guy has a huge heart, and that’ll never probably get shown. When he says “Boosie love the kids” ; that guy takes care of those kids in Baton Rouge. If somebody would do a Documentary on him, you would look at him different than how the media is trying to make him out to be.

I heard a hilarious rumor! Rumor has it Sarah Palin is looking to make a mainstream comeback by doing a rap video for a song called “There Ya Go.” Apparently, the song is going to be dissing President Obama, like, “You wanted Obama…there you go!” The source is apparently person that was in a writing session of the ghost writer.
Meanwhile, some idiots are looking for Palin to run for the Senate.
Killer Mike took an interesting stance on the Mountain Dew / Pepsi thing. He said on Twitter, “I wonder will Wayne and Tyler will now ask Fans to boycott Pepsi/MtnDew?” They don’t think that far ahead.
They are looking more and more like TLC!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry! -illseed.
