According to XXL, Texas rapper BigXthaPlug, real name Xavier Landum, got locked up in Arlington after a late-night traffic stop.
Cops pulled him over just after midnight because his tags were expired, and when they walked up to the car, they caught a whiff of weed. A quick search of the vehicle turned up not only marijuana but also a firearm tucked away in the door. BigX was hit with a charge for having less than two ounces of weed. The rapper wasn’t alone though—his passenger, Cleodist Landum (who seems to be a relative), was arrested too.
Cleodist had an active warrant out in Bexar County, Texas, and he was charged with weed possession and unlawful carrying of a weapon. BigXthaPlug, known for his 2024 album ‘Take Care’, which made noise on the Billboard charts, is no stranger to the spotlight. He’s had several Hot 100 hits and was scheduled to tour with Lil Baby this summer. But this arrest puts a bit of a wrench in his plans.
While Texas keeps it strict when it comes to weed, the rapper’s situation reminds everyone that even in the game, you’ve got to play by the rules—no matter who you are. This incident’s got the streets talking, and it’s just another example of how quick things can go left.
More news to come as the story develops.
