Xzibit's 11-day-old Son Dies

(andPOP) - Rapper/actor Xzibit lost his 11-day-old son on Monday.

The boy, named Xavier Kingston Joiner was born prematurely on May 15th.

"This week was extremly difficult for him because his lungs were not strong enough to handle regular oxygen on his own," Xzibit wrote in his MySpace blog. "Xavier passed away this morning at 3:30am and I must tell you this, it is unatural for a parent to bury a child. I am telling you this because of the same reason I tell you when im having great times, life is too short to be fake. 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."
