REDDZZRUNDOWN: BigXthaPlug Arrested, Misses Festival Performance

BigXthaPlug reportedly found himself behind bars instead of onstage after an arrest caused him to miss a scheduled festival performance.

According to jail records cited in reports, the Texas rapper was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana and unlawful possession of a firearm.

The arrest reportedly happened on the same day BigXthaPlug was expected to hit the stage at a festival. When it became clear the rapper would not be performing, festival organizers reportedly told fans that he was unable to appear because of a “personal emergency.”

Details surrounding what initially led authorities to stop and arrest the rapper were not immediately clear.

The incident adds another legal situation to what has otherwise been a major period in BigXthaPlug’s career. The rapper has continued to build his profile in hip-hop with viral records, collaborations and performances, making his absence from the festival noticeable to fans who were expecting to see him take the stage.

As of now, additional details surrounding the case and what comes next for the rapper have not been released.
