Xzibit Reveals $1M IRS Debt Amid Support Dispute

Rapper Xzibit, known for his role on MTV’s “Pimp My Ride,” is currently navigating a complex financial and legal situation. In newly filed court documents, the artist, whose real name is Alvin Nathaniel Joiner, has revealed substantial debts to the IRS and state tax authorities, alongside a contentious spousal support dispute with his estranged wife.

Millions in Debt

According to reports from TMZ, Xzibit claims to owe approximately $400,000 in back taxes to the state of California and a staggering $900,000 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This brings his total tax debt to roughly $1.3 million. Beyond taxes, he also reports over $1.4 million in personal debt and an additional $2 million in business liabilities.

Despite earning a reported $66,547 per month, Xzibit argues that his mounting financial obligations, coupled with temporary spousal support payments to his estranged wife, Krista Joiner, have become unmanageable. He is seeking to end these payments once their divorce is finalized.

Spousal and Child Support Dispute

Xzibit and Krista Joiner, married in 2014, separated in 2021 and share a son, Gatlyn, born in 2010. They currently have joint custody and are heading to trial later this month to finalize their divorce. Court filings indicate Xzibit pays $5,145 monthly in child support.

However, Krista sought an increase in both child and spousal support in February 2025, citing financial hardship. She accused Xzibit of limited contact with their son and alleged that he prioritized spending on his current girlfriend over their child’s needs. She requested substantial amounts for child support, spousal support, alleged arrears, and legal fees, arguing his income was significantly higher than reported.

Seeking to End Support Payments

In response to these demands, Xzibit is actively seeking to terminate spousal support post-divorce. Regarding asset division, he is willing to let Krista keep their 2015 Jeep Wrangler, while he wishes to retain a classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air. The finalization of their divorce and these financial matters are expected to be decided at their upcoming trial.
