BigXthaPlug has had a busy 2026 so far with the release of the 6WA project and fresh legal trouble he and his team must now continue to fight against. According to Fox 4, authorities in Collin County in Dallas, Texas arrested him yesterday (Friday, August 21) and booked into the county's prison. Per reported jail records, the rapper faces charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana, and driving while intoxicated.
The Allen Police Department's actions led to him missing his scheduled slot at the Country Rising festival that day. Via social media, the festival announced the cancelation of BigX's set and called its context a "personal emergency."
According to Fox 4, the exact circumstances of his arrest and what led to it remains unclear. We will see if any more information about that emerges.
Elsewhere, KCCI reported that, according to fair officials, the Dallas MC is still slated to perform at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand show today (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," they reportedly stated.
BigXthaPlug Arrest
This follows BigXthaPlug's previous legal trouble. This recent arrest was while he was out on bond for an arrest almost exactly a year ago on similar charges. BigX also faced an arrest in February of last year, but a court reportedly dismissed those charges. It's unclear how this most recent arrest will play into the active 2025 case, if at all.
He spoke out about the legal scrutiny he faced, claiming prosecutors tried to stick other charges to him. BigXthaPlug's other reflections on this situation indicate he and his legal team are confident they will emerge victorious in court.
However, this new arrest might complicate things moving forward. But there is still a lot of information fans don't have about its circumstances. Hopefully that changes in the near future.
In the meantime, folks will just have to wait and see if the Iowa State Fair Grandstand performance pulls through. If not, BigX might be in deeper trouble.
