Perhaps XZIBIT should try and enter his own contest. 

It was just a little more than a month ago that the west coast rapper (nee Alvin Joiner) announced he’d be giving away $10,000 to two lucky fans via his twitter page. But as it turns out, it’s really X that needed the loot. 

If you need more proof that times are hard, Xzibit is mighty close to foreclosure on his LA area home and is said to be behind $21,403.98 in mortgage payments. And on top of that, he also owes more than $500,000 in back taxes. 

There’s no word yet from the rapper or his publicist. Hmmm, me thinks it’s time to pimp your portfolio.
