Sadly, only one-half of the duo is still living. In 2013, just months after reuniting to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of So So Def records (via Yahoo! Entertainment), Chris Kelly, or Mac Daddy, died of an apparent drug overdose at the age of 34, per Rolling Stone.
Kelly had continued to make music after their split, but also went to school to learn music engineering (via Biography). Smith also went to school to learn business and marketing, and even created an entertainment company in the years after Kelly's death, per Trademarks. The loss proved to be very hard on Smith, who was friends with Kelly since they were in the first grade. At his funeral service, a tearful Smith spoke about his lifelong friend and what their friendship meant to him, per Sydney Morning Herald.
"We had so many memories. He was a true friend. He wanted to see if I was all right. So I just want to say I love you man, and I'll miss you," said Smith.
Today, Smith can be found updating his Instagram from time to time and promoting his other business — a clothing and footwear company called Urbane Muse. It is also the handle of his personal Instagram page.
