Xzibit's $1.3M Tax Debt: Rapper Drowning in Debt Despite Monthly Income
22 Apr
Summary
- Rapper Xzibit owes over $1.3 million in combined state and federal tax debt.
- His monthly income is reported at $66,547, with expenses totaling $23,566.
- Xzibit is fighting to reduce spousal support payments to his estranged wife.

Rapper Xzibit is currently embroiled in a significant financial battle, owing over $1.3 million in combined state and federal tax debt. Court documents reveal California claims he owes more than $400,000, while the IRS states he owes approximately $900,000. Despite a reported monthly income of $66,547, Xzibit also claims over $1.4 million in personal debts and $2 million in business debts.
Amidst these financial woes, Xzibit is navigating a divorce from his estranged wife, Krista Joiner. He is arguing that spousal support payments should cease after the divorce is finalized, pointing to his substantial financial obligations and his estimate of her monthly income. The couple, married in November 2014 and separated in 2021, share joint custody of their child.
Xzibit's income in 2025 was primarily from touring and album promotion, which he anticipates will not continue. He has been paying $5,145 monthly in child support and is seeking to retain a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, while his wife would keep a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The divorce trial is scheduled to commence later this month.
