Words of Support

Xzibit 527

XZIBIT’s newborn baby son Xavier Kingston, who was born prematurely, died yesterday – just days after being born. Xzibit shares his pain on his myspace page:

“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 extremely difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own.

Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30 a.m. and I must tell you this; it is unnatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when I’m having a great time — life is too short to be fake. Hold on to your kids if you have them, protect them, and show them you love them every day you wake up and see them, don’t 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 world, but it is NOTHING compared to having your family.

I am thankful for all of my blessings and I’m not one to question God’s perfect plan, so I leave you with great love and thanks for all the love that was sent earlier on my previous blog to my son. Of course, I need to take some time and handle my loss. STAY FOCUSED PEOPLE. It’s not promised to any of us.”

The loss of a child is truly devastating. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to Xzibit and his family at this time.

  1. He looks handsome. Is he single now? His blog and photos were found at dating site “W e a l t h y l o v I n g . co m” last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is seeking on that site.

  2. VoiceOfReason

    I kissed my baby girl this morning.

    God Bless Xhibit

    Damn! That is so sad. My heart goes out to him and his family. I am going to make sure that when I pick my little angel up from school that I let her know how much I love and support her.

  4. jcc

  5. casper

    Damn man!! I wish Xzhibit and his family the best. It is definately a tragedy and I pray that they are able to eventually repair the damage this has and probably will cause and try again for another child when the time is right. Keep GOD in your heart and in your home Xzibit and all will be fine.

    RIP

    I’ll pray for him and his family.

    RIP To the young king, and much luv 2 X and his family

  19. I Don't follow I Lead

    How heartbreaking, condolences to him and his family.

    It’s so ridiculous when you read sad news like this and you pop over to comment and you still see these unnecessary post about him having an account at or promoting some online date site, that seems so inappropriate and unnecessary.

  20. Do Right

    X is right, no one should ever have to bury their child. I LOVE MY DAUGHTER… I could not imagine. I pray that god grants X and his family the peace that surpasses all understanding..BIG UPS TO X FOR BEING A MAN AND BEING THERE FOR HIS FAMILY…HE’S KEEPING IT REAL RIGHT NOW!!! I PRAY OTHERS WILL DO THE SAME !!!!

  21. Aunt Viv

    May God guide Xhibit and his family during his transition. Good night, sweet lil’ prince. So sad.


  22. I had a similiar situation happen, but I delievered the child at 21 weeks, too early for his lungs to have developed. He lived for only 20 minutes. I pray X’s family can heal from this tragedy the way I eventually did.

  23. GO GETTA

    Sorry to hear this news. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT REACH FOR THE STARS!!!

  24. Suga Mo

    I will pray for them


  25. I feel for anyone who has lost a child .

    Prayers going out as we speak on it.

  26. mrslaadee

    @I Don’t follow I lead

    Condlonces to Xzibit and his family. That’s exactally what I was thinking about the dating accounts. That sh*t is so not relevant to this story and d*mn right disrespectful. As a matter of fact, Bossip needs a way that people can only post those things once a day for one story only. It’s annoying as h*ll to come on here to post about a story and people are soliciting sh*t. TAKE A HINT PEOPLE…WE DON’T WANT TO VISIT YOUR SITE…PERIOD!

  27. Lou in the Chi

    My thoughts and prayers are with this family during their trying time. God has a plan and it can not fail.

  28. Lou in the Chi

    That’s really sad, may his baby rest in peace.

    Show your children you love them, don’t let them to look for this love in the hood, they need to know you love them.


  48. I am truly sorry for your loss. Losing a child is not easy, I know. But God has a plan for us all, and if you remain faithful to him, he will make sure that you get through this. That beautiful baby has wings now, and he’s watchin over his parents! Stay Strong and Pray Strong!

  55. my heart goes out to you man i know how tough it can be. well from a childs side of it ITS TOUGHT O BURY A PARENT TOO. its hard to part with anyone you love , for this amount of time but i do know where theres a way theres a GOD, and we’ll all meet again soon. if my moms didnt teach me the word of god id be even more lost than i am now without her.

    i went through it but i had to go through that fire because God had prepared me all my life for that moment and the devil was waiting to “get my hedges removed” (job)

    man X read the book of Job and hold on to HIS unchanging hand. LOVE.

  59. WordzOfaProphet

    This is really very sad and it just makes my heart hurt. I have a 2 yr old and now I can look at him and smile, but when he was born and his umbilical cord wuz wrapped around his throat….dat was a devastating moment and I coudln’t imagine loosing a child. I’m on my 2nd now and I really pray 4 this man and his family and especially the mother cuz there is no love like a mother and her child. She must be goin thru it…I’ll say a special prayer 4 her. Keep your head up X, GOD does everything 4 a reason

  60. CRITICXTREME::

    My condolences to you and yours. I’ve had to do the same thing so I feel you. Stay strong and keep your head up.


  61. @ mrslaadee–

    OMG! Thank you! For a minute I thought I was the only person who felt that way.

    Back to topic–

    I’ve always liked X. I’ve had the opportunity to kick it with him a few years back and he seems to be a really sincere person. My heart goes out to people that suffer and endure such a tragedy as having to look down upon your child for the last time. I just cannot imagine that. We all know that the creator knows the ultimate reason but still…only time can heal such an insurmountable wound.


  62. my herat goes out to xzibit and his family i lost my god baby and it was so hurting i could only imagine how he feels though because i could never know the actual pain much love i hope him and the family makes it through

  63. Kingston's mom

    I gave birth to a son Kingston Reese on 21 April and he was 12 weeks premature so I know his pain and how special these children are. My Kingston is doing well but I have been holding my breath since his birth


  64. That is horrible. I feel for him. I have lost a child and it really is the worst thing ever.
