All tag results for 'drug abuse'

A new video has surfaced showing the late Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly just hours before his recent death, and it's not pretty.

The two and a half minute clip shows the deceased performer hanging out with some of his friends the night before he passed, and he appears to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

Chris' mother revealed that her son was in fact using cocaine and heroin that night, and the video seems to support that as you can see beer cans and other substances scattered about his house.

At one point, the rapper tries to sing along to a track he had reportedly been working on, and he slurs his way through lyrics that involve morose subjects, like being surrounded by dead bodies.

Chris was only 34 when he died, and this disturbing video offers some insight into his substance abuse and the hours that led up to his untimely death.

An autopsy has yet to be performed on Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly, but it looks like his death was caused by a drug overdose.

The musician’s mother Donna Kelly Pratt told authorities the night before he passed Chris had been using a combination of cocaine and heroin known commonly as a “speedball.”

She called paramedics yesterday afternoon when she found her son unresponsive, however they were unable to revive him when they arrived.

Donna went on to say that he was living

With Michael Jackson’s wrongful death trial just on the horizon, it sounds like we can expect a whole new can of worms to be opened.

According to sources, the details we know so far about MJ’s life and personal struggles are just the tip of the iceberg. Once the trial begins, sealed medical documents will come up as evidence and in testimony.

A source revealed that the King of Pop’s medical records had:

Michael Jackson can’t seem to rest in peace!

And apparently, the King of Pop had a hard time resting before his tragic death as well.

We already knew that MJ had major drug abuse issues, but now his close friend and the godfather to his children, Mark Lester, claims that MJ’s wine consumption was also through the roof leading up to his passing.

According to Mark, Michael drank six bottles of wine a day in the weeks before his death. Bottles that Mark brought him.

Mark said the following:

Nick Stahl has had yet another run in with the law earlier this week.

Los Angeles police spotted the Terminator 3 actor on a bench in West Hollywood when they called him over and decided to conduct a search.

The officers asked him to place his hands behind his back and emptied out his pockets, but apparently they didn't find anything.

It’s unclear what prompted the search, but cops did say that he looked “suspicious” and was in a “high crime area.”

We’re not sure that being shady or hanging out in a sketchy area is a probable cause for a search, but Nick didn’t seem to mind as he was cooperative during the pat-down and even shook hands with the office when it was done.

Given the actor’s troubled past and his recent history of drug abuse, it is a bit concerning to see him hanging out in rough neighborhoods.

Hopefully Nick wasn't up to no good.

As much as we love Soulja Boy, we HATE when role models promote drug abuse to millions of fans!

It looks like we aren't the only ones!

The Chi-Town rapper is taking serious heat after posting a series of pictures featuring weed, alcohol, and even codeine laced cough syrup!

No one knows precisely what put his friend and colleague Lil' Wayne in the hospital last week, but many speculate it was his overuse of sizzurp — a codeine based cocktail which causes seizures!!

So, after Weezy's intense medical experience, it's understandable peeps are pissed at Soulja for continuing to promote the deadly drug!!

See Soulja's offensive and potentially dangerous drug photos…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
