Xzibit Faces $1. 3M Tax Burden While Fighting Divorce Battle

Xzibit, a well‑known rapper, has disclosed that he is grappling with a massive tax debt of roughly $1. 3 million, split between state and federal obligations. The California authorities claim he owes over $400, 000 in back taxes, while the IRS lists a liability near $900, 000. In his own statements, Xzibit reports earning about $66, 547 each month from touring and a new album promotion. He estimates his estranged wife, Krista Joiner, brings in about $12, 843 monthly. Together they face significant financial pressure, as Xzibit’s personal debt exceeds $1. 4 million and his business debt reaches around $2 million. Monthly expenses average $23, 566 for bills, leaving little room for savings or assets.

The rapper argues that he should not be required to provide further spousal support after the divorce finalizes, citing his limited income and high debt load. He has been paying temporary spousal support but believes that, given his financial strain and Krista’s own earnings, additional payments are unjustifiable. Their marriage began in November 2014 and ended with a separation in 2021. They share joint custody of their son, Gatlyn, born in 2010, and Xzibit currently pays $5, 145 each month for child support. The couple’s divorce case is set to go to trial later this month, bringing these financial disputes into the courtroom.
