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.

    Man, this is heartbreaking. X is such a cool guy… this sucks. He brings happiness to people and this happens to him? So much about all that karma bullshit.

    I know you probably won't read this X but my thoughts go to you and your family in this time of loss. God bless you and your family. Remember Job from the bible, he lost everything but he kept his faith and he got back 7 times what he had lost.

    My prayers are with the family. I lost my daughter in January- she was 1 year old- after a liver transplant. I know there will be very hard time to come for the family. I wish you stength in the coming months.

    It never ceases to amaze me at how ignorant and cruel some people can be. The amazing thing is that you jerks think that you are funny and amusing. You are, instead, heartless and mindless morons and a disgrace to the human race……..To Xzibit and his family….how heartbreaking this must be for you. You are in my prayers. There are no words of wisdom. Nothing that is said can ease this type of pain. I am truly sorry for the loss of you son.

    grieving is unfair. why do any of us have to go through it? i don't understand.
    wishing you any kind of peace that is possible, given the circumstances. you seem like a level-headed, kind, loving person–stay true. sending you love.

    I am truly sorry. I too had a pre-mature baby but, unlike you, were fortunate enough to celebrate her fourth birthday this weekend. I almost died during the ordeal, and our baby was in the NICU for over a month. It is the most frightening and trying time of your life. It makes you aware of the forces that are bigger than yourself. God bless you and your family at this most trying time. I am so beyond sorry for your loss. Keep faith and know that God cherishes children. It may not make you feel better now, but sometimes, it is all we as mankind, have. My deepest sympathy and good wishes to you and your family.

    Oh how heartbreakingly sad…… that is truly horrible. I feel so sad for him and the baby's mother. A parent should never have to bury their child. Thoughts and prayers to their entire family. :(

    We almost lost one of our kids(now 10 years old) THREE times; once before birth, at birth(not breathing) and for a week after(in NICU and periods of stop breathing) and at age 7 from Leukemia.We came *close* to losing him which was horrible enough; I can't even imagine if he(or any of our kids) died. sending prayers to this family.

    My prayers are with you. I had twins born at 25 weeks. I just took them home a week ago after 108 days in the NICU. There were many days that I thought they wouldn't make it. Your little one is with angels now. God bless.

    THERE IS NOTHING MORE PAINFUL THAN LOSING A CHILD, NOTHING. YOU COULD LOSE BOTH YOUR PARENTS, BROTHER, SISTER OR EVEN A BEST FRIEND. YOU COULD LOSE YOUR MONEY, CAR & YOUR HOME BUT NOTHING COMPAIRES TO LOSING YOUR CHILD. I WISH HIM THE BEST.

    In an extremely unfortunate circumstance, it is a reminder about what is important in life. His words ring very true.

    My heart felt thoughts go to X-zibit and Mrs. X-zibit. But i just had to call-out that bullshit i keep hearing about it "being unnatural for a parent to bury a child" WTF? r u serious. it happens all the time. Naturally, it happens all the time, ask those 15,000 kids' parents who died in Sechuan China, hel ask Sissy Rommely from "A Tree..". Adults are worht much more than children. Period. Luv you Mr. Xzibit.

    224

    Who cares? Stuff like this that happens to normal people too, is not news and is not noteworthy or entertaining. You should only be focusing on the stuff about celebrities that makes them celebrities. The minutia of their lives as regular human beings is fucking meaningless.

  25. Jenn says – reply to this

    awww :(
    May God bless him and his family.

    Prayer won't help. Nothing fails like prayer. What would prayers do anyway, the kid is already dead. The belief in god and the practice of religion is schizophrenic mental illness.

    I have always liked and Xzibit, and even more so when I got an idea of his personality from Pimp My Ride. My heart goes out to him and his family. Those were some beatiful words he wrote in that blog. May God be with him.

    Re: MT Buck
    You are so right. I see these vile postings, and I want to respond, I want them to hear my voice, but like you have pointed out, these wretches just want the attention. So I don't reward them with any signal that I have heard them. If everyone did that, it would not be fun anymore and they would go play somewhere else. RIP XAVIER. I love you Xzibit. You and your family stay strong.
