Xzibit Faces Legal Heat As Former Employee Alleges Death Threats Amid Divorce Drama
Detroit rapper Xzibit is in the news for some troubling reasons, as his former employee, Julio Garcia, has taken him to court. Garcia is seeking a temporary restraining order, claiming that Xzibit has issued scary death threats and is trying to intimidate him. Garcia used to work for Xzibit, detailing his cars, but their relationship turned sour when payments allegedly stopped coming. What started as disagreements over pay escalated to serious accusations, with Garcia claiming Xzibit, whose real name is Alvin Joiner, threatened to kill him on several occasions.
One of the most shocking threats included a blunt “I’ll kill you,” along with a chilling message, “Good luck to you and Krista.” The mention of Krista is significant because she is Xzibit’s estranged wife, and it hints that there may be more going on than just a typical employer-employee conflict. Garcia also worked for Krista and believes Xzibit’s threats were meant to stop him from helping her in their divorce. He claims to have insider knowledge about Xzibit’s cars, properties, and even his cannabis business dealings. In his legal complaint, Garcia says he not only cleaned Xzibit’s luxury vehicles but also helped move cannabis products between cities, which gave him insight into where the products were stored.
With Krista looking for financial support during their divorce, this information could be important for her case. This situation adds another layer of complexity to Xzibit’s already publicized divorce. Although the rapper hasn’t officially responded to Garcia’s allegations, this upcoming legal battle could reveal more about his personal life and finances. As this story develops, one major question remains: will these allegations harm Xzibit’s career and businesses, or will he be able to prove his innocence? Regardless, this chapter in his life is as dramatic as the music he creates.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”
In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.
It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.
“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
