Rapper BigXthaPlug was arrested in Texas on August 21, 2026, following an encounter with authorities in Collin County. Police records show the Dallas artist, whose legal name is Xavier Landum, was booked on charges including driving while intoxicated, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
The arrest also affected his upcoming performance schedule. Festival organizers in Winnipeg said BigXthaPlug would no longer appear at the Country Rising Festival, citing a personal emergency. No additional details about the cancellation were provided at the time.
The case adds to previous legal issues involving the rapper. In August 2025, he was arrested in Texas on charges connected to marijuana possession and a firearm.
