  "account": "Texas rapper BigXthaPlug, whose real name is Xavier Landum, has pleaded no contest to a 2025 unlawful weapon charge in Dallas County, according to court documents. The 6-month deferred adjudication sentence was handed down on Friday, August 28th, following a Class A misdemeanor charge stemming from an alleged incident on August 21st, 2025. The rapper previously made headlines earlier this month when he was arrested on charges including driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession, and unlawful possession of a firearm. Landum entered a nolo contendere, or no contest, plea to the unlawful weapon charge, and the court found his guilt but deferred proceedings without entering an adjudication of guilt. He will now serve six months of probation, with no fine and credit for three days of time served. Community supervision is set to end on February 28th, 2027.",
  "summary": "The Texas rapper got six months' probation for the misdemeanor charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon.",
