Xzibit has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

The rapper was speeding while driving away from his wedding reception in Laguna Beach last November, after marrying Krista Joiner.


Police stopped and breathalysed him, after which he was revealed to be at nearly twice the legal alcohol limit, reports TMZ.

Xzibit was then arrested and taken into custody. He has now been charged with two counts of DUI and must enter a plea.

Real name Alvin Nathaniel Joiner, the rapper is known for hosting MTV car customising show Pimp My Ride.

He has also released seven studio albums and appeared in a number of films and TV shows.
