Xzibit To Guest Star On 'Empire'

The Lyons are about to meet the big bad wolf.

Rapper Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner will guest star of FOX's "Empire," the network announced Thursday.

The former "Pimp My Ride" host will play Leslie "Shyne" Johnson, a music executive who also moonlights as a drug kingpin and is "100 percent wolf and 100 percent gangster."

He apparently also has it out for family patriarch Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) on the hip-hop drama.

"Empire" returns March 30.

In the explosive mid-season finale, pregnant Rhonda Lyon (Kaitlyn Doubleday) was attacked, Lucious (Howard) was removed as CEO of Empire by his youngest son Hakeem Lyon (Bryshere Y. Gray) and Cookie Lyon (Golden Globe winner Taraji P. Henson) faced her demons in prison.
