Rapper and MTV star Xzibit just suffered a tragic loss, the death of his newborn son.
Xzibit posted the following on hisMySpace blog:
AS you all know, I shared with you the announcement of my newborn son Xavier Kingston Joiner on may 15th and also informed you that he was born prematurely. well this week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own. Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, It is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them and show them you love them everyday you wake up and see them, dont take a second you get to hug them teach them and care for them for granted. You can have all the material wealth in the universe but it is NOTHING compared to having your family. I am thankful for all of my blessings and im not one to question God's perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for the love that was sent earlier on my pervious blog to my son. Of course I need to take some time and handle my loss, STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. Its not promised to any of us.
R.I.P Xavier May 15th 2008- May 26th 2008
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Xzibit and his family.

Re: Stephanie –
When you lose a child, if God hasn't made you barren, I hope you get that comment thrown in your face. How heartless you are!
Re: brown-eyez – Last thing I'd do after somone's child died is make a comment like yours. Shame on all of you leaving any hateful remarks (shout out to ngr htr and stephanie, if karma's a bitch you should watch out, you not showing good karma with those words) no-one deserves this type of grief. RIP Xavier.
sad
poor bloke
its nice to see a rapper drop the 'hard man' image and actually show feelings, full respect
Re: heya –
Well unlike your poor family lingering on welfare, he can afford to take care of his. RIP Xavier.
Re: Missy – I'm not black but my thoughts exactly. These people who talk shit on here have absolutely the worst lives and are so hated. It's the only way they can feel better about themselves is to hate back. I'm sorry for your loss as well.
so sad! stay strong X!
omg that is so sad
i literally just started tearing up
im sorry xhibit!!
my thoughts and prayers go to him and his family…I've always liked Xzibit because he seems like such a genuinely nice man so I hate that such a horrible and final thing happened to his son
god bless
i have a son who was born at 25 weeks gestation weighing ONE pound and NINE OZ. and although he couldn't handle room air he was on a ventilator for 5 months and has a trach afterwards for 3 yrs and it has been taken out and he is now is as healthy as can be…..i feel they could of some more to help him out…..
I have a 5-month-old son and I cannot imagine what it would feel like to lose him. This is so sad. May God bring peace and comfort to the family as they grieve.
God bless him and his family at this time. That entry was very well written.
Crrrraaaaacccckkkkkk.
The sound of my heart breaking when I read this.
Sigh.
so sad-deepest condolances
God bless, Xavier. Xzibit, I am so sorry for your loss. Mom and Dad stay strong and love each other. Unfortunately, I know how you feel.
soo sad our thoughts and prayers go out
God be with you and your family sweet man. Robin & Family
What he said was simply beautful. My heart goes out to him and his family.
this is so tragic!i can't even imagine how hard it is to lose a child.may the poor baby rest in peace and i hope God will give strength to Xzibit's family.his show is very nice and he seems such a nice guy.
I have read for the most part alot of sympathy and kind words to this man during his time of need ,but to you haters out there this man has just lost his child how dare you be so cold and heartless shame on you I hope to GOD that you never feel the pain that this man and his family are feeling. Until and if you ever feel this pain. Then shut the fuck up.
"Life is too short to be fake."
This could quite possibly be the most poignant thought of the Summer of 2008.
so sorry for your loss x, my prayers are with you, god bless
For once you did something right Mario. This is soooo very sad. My condolences to X and to Xavier's mom.
These are just the dangers Blacks face in this country when you have the White man handling your life.
Very sad. He seems like a good/cool guy. Losing a child is one of the most horrible things anyone can go through… I'm not extremely religious, but I feel God in whatever form anyone wants to put 'Him' in has a plan, and every child becomes an angel.
OH THAT IS SO SAD. I HATE HEARING THINGS LIKE THIS. THAT IS MY BIGGEST FEAR LOSING A CHILD. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THE PAIN I WOULD FEEL. GOD BLESS HIM!
RIP.. this is so sad..
unfair things that happen in an unfair world.
11 days old, thats so horrible. my heart goes out to him and his family
People take too much for granted. My thoughts and prayers go out to Xzibit and the baby's mom.
my condolences to xzibit. thanks to him for being so honest and open about his grief. We forget sometimes that these "stars" are human like the rest of us. they have families, they love their kids, they experience loss. I hope his fans take his comments to heart and realize that money and fame aren't enough. I am sure he would give it all away to get his son back. Remember that.
Just 1 less Niglet in the world, who cares it is not like a smart dog died.
A new angel. Heart goes out to the new mom and family
Who cares…it's just a black..throw it in the trash.
Akim, you must really be some immaturekid and the most ignorant person on this planet, but unfortunantly there are more like you. Just hope they don't have internet access.
Really really sad news.
His words are really poignant and so true.
My thoughts are with him and his family.
I have always loved Xzibit and I'm deeply saddened to hear about his loss. That message speaks volumes about his character and I like him even more now. What a tragic loss! My heart goes out to him.
that is terrible!
Well, it's like my friend says, no use in crying over spilled milk, in his case chocolate milk.
Re: ngr htr – you're an ignorant piece of shit. I hope Karma grabs you by the nutz and squeezes hard!
Re: Leroy – You are a total heartless asshole !!
omg for a second i thought HE died..
but still very sad
((
Re: Leroy –
You are an awful person!
Re: brown-eyez – Did you ever think that maybe this is his way of dealing with his loss? Don't criticize him for blogging - you don't know anything about how he may feel.
thoughts & prayers to Xzibit & his family
My heart is aching with sadness for Xzibit and his family. Many prayers and much love. And too all you foul mouthed , hate filled bloggers—- When you put hate out there, it comes back to bite you TEN TIMES HARDER!!!
135 - proud white says – reply to this
Who cares…it's just a black..throw it in the trash.

Don't waste a dead Niglet like that, they make great fertilizer.
aww thats really sad…. my heart goes out to him
very sad.
i was crying while reading this.
R.I.P Xavier ]'=
My heart breaks for him. My 9 year old son passed away in January and it is the WORST thing that can ever happen to someone. He is right. Appreciate what you have and don't take it for granted. It can be taken away at any moment. He is definitely in my prayers.
My sincerest condolences. I cannot image what it is like to have to bury a child. This is heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry to hear of Xhibit's tragic loss. Hopefully he will feel all of our prayers and none of us will take lifes little (or great) blessing for granted. XOXO
I feel so sorry–
I am simply shocked at the utter ignorance and disrepect that I have read on this thread. Some of these assholes are just saying these mean things to get attention on a thead and unfortunately, some of these ruthless fucks actually do mean it. It's really a shame that someone can have so much hate in their heart. It just shows how miserable you are.
Sad but WTF is he announcing something so personal on some shit website?!? I don't get these fucking dumba$$'s…It's none of the worlds business, it's private…who cares if people find out on their own but going on and announcing it? Ew uGh, sorry some things should be grieved and kept in private.
Kids die everyday around the world, out of poverty, illness's no one's announcing those for sympathy.
Stay strong Xzibit. Your little angel will always be with you, and you'll know when he is.
I am so sorry about you're loss….I have a 3 year old and I could not imagine my life without him……God be with you and your family
Re: ngr htr – racist sob go to hell
this is truly tragic. my heart goes out to him and his family
may god be with him at this difficult time. keep your head up and your heart strong. All will be well.
OMG It's so sad
R.I.P little Xavier :'(
Re: Ashe –
Did anyone ask your opinion, asshole? What the fuck is it to you? He lost his fucking baby, you thoughtless prick! The way the tabloid media works is that sooner or later someone would have found out and made it public, that's just the way the world works and he posted it on his myspace page, idiot, he didn't fax a fucking press release.
You're just another online loser with no life so who really gives a fuck what you think, you're life is limited to making insensitive comments online, you must be so proud of yourself.
I could NEVER EVER imagine the pain of losing a child. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Xzibit! Stay strong and know that Xavier is an angel watching over his family! We love you!
RIP Little Xavier, God Bless Xzibit and the Baby's Mom. I can't even imagine!!!! I can not believe some of the evil comments some people are writing. NO ONE deserves to loose a child. You idiots should grow up!!!! Equality…….
Re: Akim –
You, ngr htr, and stephanie are all the most repugnant, sub-human pieces of shit I have ever come across. I hope for the sake of humanity that none of you has, or will have, offspring. Love is the most important thing to teach a child and the three of you clearly are incapable of love if you can use the death of a child as an excuse to spew forth that kind of hatred. If there's a Hell, you've each earned a spot there…..hope you enjoy it.
HES GODS LITTLE ANGEL NOW!
R.I.P
Xzibit is my favorite rapper … he seems so open and kind. I am SO sad for his loss. I will send prayers for the new angel.
Well, some people (racist or not) have never had a life, or a mother to love them, or schooling, or friends or any short of love to begin with. A lot of racist people get it (their beliefs, actions, and ideas) from their parents or “family” who got it from theirs and so on and so forth. Which is sad because they never learned to think for themselves. Usually, when I read horrible comments like the ones here I just ignore it. After those people post those horrible comments, they check back and check back all day just to see if someone has replied to them to give then the attention they so desperately need. Instead of acknowledging them try to just ignore them. These people have probably never received love so they sadly probably will never learn to give it. In turn, means they will never have a wife or a husband or children or even a pet (that they don’t abuse) for that matter. People WILL always say hurtful things and since day one it has never been about what they are commenting on but it is about that big hole in their life. They seek out attention even if it is negative attention just to fill the void in their life. So please don't keep feeding them their bad energy, ignore them. IT IS FOR THE BEST.
Tragic. But he seems to understand how grief is.
May God bless you and your family at this time, but remember we are all God's children and he only loans us these precious gifts. Cherish those moments you had and take time to heal. God Bless!!!
My thoughts are with Xzibit and his family. I know how rough it is to loose a child. My son died 2 hours after being born.
So sad! Stay strong. Only god knows what he holds in the future for us…. Stay strong! My prayers to Xzibit and family.
May God help you losers that take this time to spread hate, and claim the stupid notch "First" etc. karma indeed is a bitch so YOU better watch your ass. Have some respect and show some humanity. After all this is a child we are talking about.
In the case of Xhibit as he so eloquently wrote he " [is] not one to question God's perfect plan…Its not promised to any of us." May God bless him and his family through this difficult time.
Re: lins – Well said. Thank you.
Very very sad. Prayers to the family and for baby Xavier.

Re: Stephanie –
Re: ngr htr – another white coward hiding behind the screen
