Talk about a wild album release day! Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug, who just dropped his new album “I Hope You’re Happy,” found himself in an unexpected situation when he was arrested on the very same day. He recently shared the bizarre details of his interrogation, which involved police playing his own music.
A Strange Interrogation Experience
During a recent Twitch stream, the 26-year-old artist recounted how Dallas police identified him in their system as a gang member. He was given a choice: go straight to jail or head to headquarters for questioning. Naturally, he opted for the latter, expecting a standard interview.
However, the experience took a surreal turn. “They talked to me for like four hours and just kept playing my music,” BigXthaPlug revealed. He specifically mentioned hearing his track ‘Safehouse,’ leading him to question if the police were trying to use his music against him. After providing answers to their questions, he grew frustrated with the process.
Charges and Release
Feeling the interrogation was unproductive, BigXthaPlug eventually told the officers, “Turn that off. Just take me to jail.” He was subsequently booked on charges of marijuana possession and unlawful firearm possession. Fortunately, he was released the following day after posting a $5,000 bond.
His attorney, Valerie Baston, is reportedly working to ensure the charges are treated as misdemeanors rather than felonies. Despite missing his album release party, BigXthaPlug is moving forward, with his new album featuring notable artists like Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, and Luke Combs, blending country and rap influences.
