BigXthaPlug has been arrested on marijuana charges in Texas.
According to a report from TMZ, police arrested BigX on Wednesday and he's currently being held at the Arlington City Jail. He's reportedly been charged with possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana.
Police told TMZ that they stopped BigX as he was driving with expired tags, and they smelled marijuana coming out of the vehicle. BigX and the passenger, Cleodist Landum, were told to exit the car, and police saw cigarettes and a green leafy substance in the console, and they also found a handgun in the passenger door.
When taken into custody, police saw Landum had an active felony warrant in Bexar County, Texas, and searched him, where they allegedly found marijuana on him. He was then booked at Arlington City Jail on the warrant, including possession of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
BigXThaPlug is having an incredible run in rap at the moment. In our conversation with him back in 2023, BigX explained what pushed him to take his craft seriously and go harder.
“My mom got sick, my granny got sick, then I missed my son’s birthday,” he said. “The world keeps going on without you. Especially when it comes to my son, I want to be there every day.”
BigX's latest album, Take Care, which arrived last October and features only Wallo267, reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
