Xzibit & Ex Reach Kid Deal, Seeks Millions in Sanctions

Xzibit and his ex-wife, Krista Joiner, have reportedly finalized their agreement concerning property issues and the custody of their son, Gatlyn, who was born in 2010. This settlement marks a potential end to a lengthy legal dispute that has spanned several years.

Despite the resolution on child and property matters, Xzibit has filed documents detailing substantial legal expenses. He asserts that he has incurred $1.6 million in attorneys' fees over the past five years. This figure includes approximately $400,000 paid towards Krista Joiner's legal representation.

Xzibit further alleges that Joiner and her lawyer engaged in "scorched earth tactics." He claims these actions were intended to "wreak havoc, harass, and intimidate" him, significantly delaying the settlement process and escalating costs. Consequently, Xzibit is petitioning the court to impose sanctions of at least $200,000 on Joiner as punishment for her conduct during the litigation.

The couple's divorce proceedings began when Joiner filed in 2021, after they had reportedly been together for two decades, though married for about six years. In 2025, Xzibit had also requested to be declared legally single while the remaining issues were being resolved.
