Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly was laid to rest at Memorial Baptist Church in Atlanta. Family and many industry friends were there to pay their final respects.
Da Brat and Jermaine Dupri wore their pants backwards in tribute to Chris, who along with Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith made it trendy to wear your clothes backwards during the height of their fame.

"I just wanna say I love you man and I'm going to miss you dearly," Smith said while delivering the eulogy. "I could say Kris Kross forever, but I know without Chris...my life, it ain't gonna ever be the same. I just hope our legacy for hip hop is never forgotten."

Smith and Kelly were discovered by Dupri at an Atlanta mall in 1990. The duos debut album, Totally Krossed Out, is certified 4x platinum by the Recording Industry of America. The 1992 album spawned the hit record "Jump."
