Nothing like a little jail time to close the year out on a pensive note. There’s a strong chance that Xzibit isn’t feeling too great about his decision to drive drunk after his wedding, which led to his post-nuptial arrest over the weekend.
There is good news though: he’s not alone. A lot of celebrities got popped this year, either for DUI, or other bad behavior.
Since this is the last month of the year Hip-Hop Wired wanted to get a head start on tallying the rappers and singers who found themselves in police custody in 2014.
