  • Xzibit Faces $1.3M Tax Debt in Divorce

    It looks like rapper Xzibit, whose real name is Alvin Joiner, is in a tough spot. As his divorce proceedings with estranged wife Krista Joiner heat up and head towards a trial, he’s revealed some staggering financial woes. The star claims he’s drowning in debt, and the numbers are pretty eye-opening.

    A Mountain of Debt

    According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Xzibit is reportedly dealing with over $1.3 million in tax debt alone. The State of California is said to be owed more than $400,000, while the IRS is pursuing roughly $900,000. But that’s not all – Xzibit also claims an additional $1.4 million in personal debt and a whopping $2 million in business-related liabilities.

    Even with an estimated monthly income of around $66,547, Xzibit argues his financial situation is far from stable. He points out that much of his recent income came from touring and promoting a new album in 2025, revenue streams he says aren’t guaranteed to continue long-term. Meanwhile, he estimates his estranged wife, Krista Joiner, brings in about $12,843 per month.

    Monthly Expenses and Support Obligations

    The financial breakdown continues with Xzibit stating his average monthly expenses are around $23,566. He also claims he doesn’t possess any significant assets that could help offset his mounting debts. This precarious financial picture is why he’s asking the court to terminate any future spousal support payments once the divorce is finalized.

    Adding to the financial strain, Xzibit has already been paying temporary support, plus $5,145 per month in child support for their son, Gatlyn, who was born in 2010. The former couple, married in November 2014 and separated in 2021, currently share joint custody.

    Asset Division and the Road Ahead

    As part of the divorce proceedings, Xzibit is looking to keep some personal assets, like a classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air, while he reportedly has no issue with Joiner keeping a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. With the trial set for later this month, this case is shaping up to be a high-stakes financial dispute.

    Xzibit’s claims paint a stark picture of mounting debt and uncertain income, which will undoubtedly play a crucial role in how the court decides on support and asset division. This situation serves as a reminder that even successful entertainers can face immense financial pressure behind the scenes, especially when tax issues and legal battles collide.

  • 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.
