Bigxthaplug biography
BigXthaPlug, whose real name is Xavier Landum, is a Texas hip-hop star and recording artist based in Dallas County. Recognized as a breakout musical performer, he has established himself as a prominent hitmaker in the regional rap scene.
The artist's career has faced interruptions due to multiple legal incidents involving drugs and weapons in his home state of Texas. In August 2026, he was taken into custody on charges of driving while intoxicated, carrying less than two ounces of marijuana, and unlawful firearm possession. The unexpected arrest forced him to pull out of a scheduled music festival performance in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In September 2026, Landum resolved a separate legal matter in Dallas County Criminal Court No. 4 dating back to an August 2025 offense. After entering a plea of nolo contendere to a Class A misdemeanor unlawful weapon charge, he was granted six months of deferred adjudication probation, allowing him to avoid jail time and steer clear of a formal misdemeanor conviction.
- Media coverage of BigXthaPlug focuses heavily on his recurring legal challenges involving weapons, drugs, and traffic offenses in Texas.
