Texas Rapper Accepts Probation in 2025 Gun Charge

BigXthaPlug, legally Xavier Landum, entered a no-contest plea on August 28 in a Dallas County court for a misdemeanor unlawful carrying of a weapon charge from August 2025. The court granted six months of deferred adjudication, with probation ending February 28, 2027, and credited him for three days served. This case is separate from his August 2026 arrest on DWI, marijuana, and firearm charges.

The plea resolves a charge stemming from an August 2025 traffic stop in Dallas, during which officers alleged marijuana and firearm violations. Landum's no-contest plea allowed the court to defer adjudication, meaning no formal guilt was entered while he completes his six-month supervision period, which runs through late February 2027.

This resolution arrives amid a separate, more recent legal matter: an August 2026 arrest involving DWI, marijuana possession, and unlawful firearm possession. The rapper's mainstream profile has risen considerably, with his Bailey Zimmerman collaboration reaching No. 4 on the Hot 100 and topping the Hot Country Songs chart.
