Xzibit‘s ex-wife says she has experienced a ‘downgrade’ of her lifestyle since her split from the rapper, and is now seeking an increase in both spousal and child support.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kristina Joiner filed to modify her existing spousal support agreement on Thursday (February 20).
The outlet reports that Joiner is claiming she can no longer pay her bills or take weekend trips, and she alleges that her ex would “rather spend his money on his girlfriend’s luxury car” instead of paying for their 12-year-old son’s private school tuition. She also claims X hasn’t even seen their son since September.
She also alleges violence in her filing, accusing X of slamming their son’s head on the table for having memes of the rapper’s girlfriend on his phone.

Joiner is looking to increase her child support to just over $9k a month, while she wants her spousal support to be increased to just over $21k a month. She also wants $300k in attorney fees, and is requesting a finding that Xzibit owes her over $750k in missed payments.
In her filing, Joiner noted that her previous support order was based on the Pimp My Ride star making around $25k per month, but she now believes he actually makes a minimum of $134k a month.
Krista filed for divorce from Xzibit — born Alvin Nathaniel Joiner — in 2021 after roughly six years of marriage and 20 years together in total. The former couple had been together since 2001 and had two kids together but one tragically passed away 11 days after birth.
Xzibit first asked the judge not to award his ex any spousal support as he claimed to have struggled throughout the pandemic with tours and other appearances shut down. However, Krista alleged the rapper’s brother Jason told her Xzibit makes over $1million a month from his cannabis business.

Jason also claimed he stashed $20 million for Xzibit in multiple vaults and got him cash whenever he needed it.
The rapper commented on the allegations in a since-deleted Instagram post that called Krista’s claims “bullshit” and said “there will be blood” on her hands for spreading the purported rumors. He then noted she and Jason “outdid” themselves this time, claiming they’ve reached a new low.
In August 2022, the Los Angeles native was ordered to pay $6,000 a month in support. According to the breakdown, $2,239 will go toward child support for their son which will continue until he’s 18 and $3,702 a month will go towards temporary spousal support. Xzibit was also ordered to pay $50,000 for Joiner to hire a forensic accountant to look through his finances and another $125,000 to cover all her legal bills.
That November, Joiner filed a lawsuit against against X seeking financial compensation for the rest of her life.

In court documents, Krista’s attorney claimed that Xzibit agreed to provide financial support for her if she remained a homemaker. The lawyer argues that she held up her end of the bargain but Xzibit has not.
And in 2023, she demanded X fork over another $230k to help pay her legal fees and bills as their divorce proceedings continue.
A judge has yet to rule on her latest filing.
