BigXthaPlug was arrested in Collin County, Texas, on August 21, 2026, on charges of driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession and unlawful firearm possession, according to FOX 9. The Dallas rapper was scheduled to perform at the Country Rising Festival that day, but organizers said he canceled because of a “personal emergency.” The arrest is reportedly BigXthaPlug’s third encounter with law enforcement in under two years. A February 2025 marijuana case in Arlington was dismissed, while an August 21, 2025 arrest in Dallas involved marijuana and firearm allegations after the release of his album I Hope You’re Happy . Why This Arrest Hits Differently BigXthaPlug’s latest case arrives amid a painful chapter for Dallas hip hop. His close friend ZeeTheWizard , whose legal name was Zecquire Fields, was shot in the head at Pinkhouse Dallas nightclub on New Year’s Day 2026 and died from his injuries on January 5. BigXthaPlug publicly mourned Fields, making the new arrest especially heavy against the backdrop of violence affecting the Dallas rap community. The legal process will determine what happens next, but the repeated arrests could create fresh pressure for an artist still building momentum.
