Xzibit is receiving backlash from Detroit residents after appearing to claim the Motor City as his first home.
The negative response came after the veteran rapper posted a photo (that now appears to have been taken down) of the vacant lot where his childhood home once stood on Instagram Monday (March 11).
Shortly after the photo was uploaded, the former Empire regular was met with disgruntled reactions from Detroit locals who refused to validate his ties to the city. Xzibit responded by denying any claim to the city and posed questions to commenters about their own effort to uplift Detroit.
X to the Z is currently supporting Cypress Hill and the Hollywood Undead on their West Coast High Tour. He has simultaneously been teasing the release of his first solo album in six years, tentatively titled, King Maker.
Xzibit’s last musical offering was a collaborative effort with B-Real and Demrick. The trio, collectively known as the Serial Killers, released their album, Day Of The Dead, on October 30, 2018.

It must be 2 sidesssssss!
Only young people or uninformed people would not have known that X to the Z been said that he was from Detroit years ago. But he was raised in New Mexico and Cali. I don’t understand why people are butt hurt over that. Snoop said that Detroit is his second home. Is he going to get cussed out for that? Smh
people are butthurt because he posted a photo of the empty lot where his childhood home was and used the hashtag #HEARTBROKEN like he didn’t have 3 decades to go back and buy that house for pennies and saved it if it really meant that much to him and his heart.
Yeah, because he didn’t go buy a shithole home that he didn’t live in for 30 years, he should be quiet about where he’s from or that his old childhood home is not there anymore. Are you stupid or just pretending? I hope you’re pretending.
laugh out loud, ill have to look that up, maybe because of barry gordy is my off the top guess… mazel tov records goog or bing
He should pimp that empty lot
People are just dumb now. I mean just stupid beyond belief .
X hit hit with the right response
im ready for a new X album
I really hope you are talking about DMX
XZibit dead and gone
I would rather jam to Lil Uzi Vert than buy a new X record
So people are actually beefing with a dude because he used live in a city when he was a little kid and remembers it? People are really miserable fucks these days.
