XXX was in his share of feuds … but, as far as we know, there were no ominous fights between him and anyone else.
He’s had serious legal trouble … he’s awaiting trial for domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend. He’s facing more than a dozen felony charges. Prosecutors accused him of witness tampering.
XXX was on house arrest but the judge recently let him out so he could tour.
XXX has had real success … his last album debuted at #1.
