I heard they were both molested by Jermain Depri and was all over the news. (link deleted by moderator -- broken link) _________________ www.RetroTank.com

I Googled it, and apparently there's someone out there claiming to be one of the kids from the band saying this, but no one can even prove it's him. Someone faked being Peter Criss to get money once.....it can happen.

I've seen the allegation on a lot of hip hop and entertainment gossip boards, but nothing with any kind of merit behind it. Provide a source, if you can find one -- otherwise, heck, I heard Kriss Kross were producing the next Batboy album, with Bigfoot for a DJ.

I would cite the article, but the Wikipedia moderators deleted it right after I wrote it. <-- cheerful self-mocking irony and stuff As for Kriss Kross, I'm not sure about Daddy Mack Smith, but Mack Daddy Kelly is running an indie label and making music, at least as recently as February.

I remember someone saying about them, "They think they're such big bad hoogies just because they wear their clothes backwards." What I don't get is their stage/nicknames "Daddy Mack" and "Mack Daddy"--Where the h-e-double-hockeysticks does the "Daddy" come from? They were in their early teens when they first hit the charts w/ "Jump!" Were they really teenage fathers at that time as well? Somehow I can't see that but I dunno......

It's "KriS (one S in first word) Kross". Sir Mix-a-Lot was who I really disliked in 1992. _________________ Wish I had a time machine, I could make myself go back until the day I was born RIP England Dan 1948-2009
