Rapper BigXthaPlug arrested in Collin County on multiple charges
Allen police said Xavier Landum was booked on DWI, marijuana and firearm charges hours before he was set to headline the Iowa State Fair.
- On Friday, Dallas rapper Xavier Landum, known as BigXthaPlug, was arrested by the Allen Police Department and booked into Collin County Jail on charges of driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession, and unlawful firearm possession.
- Landum has faced similar legal challenges in 2022 and 2025, including a Pleasant Grove arrest in August 2025 and an Arlington arrest in February 2025, both on marijuana and weapons charges.
- Despite legal troubles, Landum maintains significant momentum with 19.4 million monthly Spotify listeners and his hit song "Mmhmm" garnering over 548 million streams since his 2022 breakout "Texas."
- Arrested less than 24 hours before his Iowa State Fair Grandstand headline show with special guest XOLEX, Landum's performance status remains unclear as organizers evaluate the situation.
- Iowa State Fair organizers have managed last-minute headliner changes before; Rod Stewart withdrew for medical reasons and was replaced by John Waite for a free fairgoer performance.
