Dallas rapper BigXThaPlug was arrested in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday, February 26, 2025. It happened after a traffic stop led to the discovery of marijuana and a firearm.
The 26-year-old artist, whose real name is Xavier Landum, was booked into Arlington City Jail for possession of less than two ounces of marijuana. He is known for tracks like "Texas" and "Mmhmm."
The Express Tribune reports that the incident took place around 12:05 am when Arlington police pulled over BigXThaPlug’s vehicle on North Collins Street due to expired tags.
As the officer approached, they reportedly smelled marijuana. It eventually prompted them to ask the rapper and his passenger, Cleodist Landum, to exit the car. Upon searching the vehicle, officers found cigarettes, a green leafy substance in the console, and a handgun in the passenger-side door.
