Xzibit's New Born Son Passed Away

Bad news came from rapper Xzibit that his newborn son, Xavier Kingston Joiner, passed away at 3:30 A.M. on Monday, May 26. The rapper announced the news on his MySpace at the same day, telling that Xavier, who was born prematurely on May 15, died because his lungs were weak to handle oxygen.

"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," Xzibit wrote on his MySpace. He apparently really mourned for Xavier, writing "Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am 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 great times, life is too short to be fake."

It was just two weeks ago that Xzibit was optimistic announcing Xavier's birth, writing "I am writing you from the hospital right now because Xavier was born a lil pre-maturely. But I am keeping faith that everything will work out fine." He moreover added, "I tell you people, bringing a life into this world right now is a blessing for me. I have had time to focus and put A LOT of sh** into perspective over the last few years. And at the end of the day, if you don't have FAMILY around you ... you don't have sh**."

Through his MySpace, Xzibit also gave advice to people, telling that family was the most important thing in people's lives. "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," he wrote.

Although was in mourning and needed some time to control his loss, Xzibit still thanked to God. "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 previous 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," he wrote.
