BigXthaPlug Busted: Texas Police Nab Rising Rap Star Over Weed and a Gun

Rap game newcomer BigXthaPlug hit a snag early Wednesday morning when Texas authorities pulled him over for some expired tags, and boy, did things go downhill from there! According to reports from TMZ, the Dallas-born talent was taken into custody by the Arlington Police after they caught a whiff of that unmistakable green smell wafting out of his ride. It turns out that BigX and his buddy Cleodist Landum, 22, had quite the surprise waiting for the cops in their vehicle.

Upon searching the car, officers found cigarettes along with what they described as a “green leafy substance” right there in the center console. But the real kicker? A hidden handgun was discovered stashed in the passenger door pocket. You’d think that would be enough drama for one morning, but then things got even dicier for Landum, who had a felony warrant hanging over his head from Bexar County. Unsurprisingly, he was arrested on multiple charges that now include unlawful carrying of a weapon, compounded by some weed on him when they searched him as well.

BigXthaPlug, whose real name is Darian M. K. Breland, has been stewing in the spotlight lately, especially with his ascension in the rap game characterized by infectious beats, a distinct sound, and a growing fanbase pulling for him. Yet, as our man in Texas just learned, you can’t let your guard down even for a second—especially when law enforcement has its eyes peeled. He might be making waves in hip-hop, but this latest brush with the law could definitely ripple through his burgeoning career.

While this incident may throw a wrench in his momentum, many fans are hoping that BigXthaPlug bounces back stronger than ever, much like other hip-hop stars who faced their own legal battles before returning to the scene. Here’s hoping he learns from this experience and sticks to the music that’s been making him shine!
