BigXthaPlug has had a busy 2026 so far, following the release of his 6WA project and now dealing with new legal issues involving himself and his team.
According to Fox 4, authorities in Collin County, Dallas, Texas, arrested the rapper on Friday, August 21, and booked him into the county jail. Jail records reportedly show that he is facing charges for unlawful possession of a firearm, marijuana possession, and driving while intoxicated.
The arrest resulted in BigXthaPlug missing his scheduled performance at the Country Rising festival that same day. The festival later announced on social media that his set had been canceled, describing the situation as a “personal emergency.”
The exact details surrounding the arrest and what led to it remain unclear, according to Fox 4. Further information may emerge as the situation develops.
Meanwhile, KCCI reported that festival officials said BigXthaPlug is still expected to perform at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand show on Saturday, August 22.
“We are aware of reports regarding BigXthaPlug. We are in communication with his agent and at this time, we have been told he will still be performing,” officials reportedly said.
This latest incident comes after BigXthaPlug’s previous legal issues. The new arrest reportedly happened while he was already out on bond from an arrest nearly a year earlier involving similar allegations. The rapper was also arrested in February of last year, though those charges were reportedly dismissed by a court.
It remains unclear whether this newest arrest will have any impact on his ongoing 2025 case.
BigXthaPlug previously addressed the legal pressure he was facing, claiming prosecutors attempted to add additional charges against him. His other comments about the situation suggested that he and his legal team remain confident about their chances in court.
However, the new arrest could potentially create further complications as the case moves forward. With limited details currently available about the circumstances surrounding the incident, more information will be needed to understand the full situation.
For now, fans will have to wait to see whether BigXthaPlug is able to move forward with his scheduled Iowa State Fair Grandstand performance. If the appearance does not happen, it could signal more challenges ahead for the rapper.
