DALLAS— Rap star BigXthaPlug established a new annual tradition this week. Police booked the rapper on his official BigXthaPlug arrest anniversary, exactly one year after his last major run-in with law enforcement. The timely booking forced him to miss a highly anticipated festival performance.
A Traditional Booking
Officers pulled over the rapper on August 21, 2026. This matched the exact date of his August 21, 2025 booking. Police charged him with driving while intoxicated, carrying an unlicensed firearm, and possessing under two ounces of marijuana. The charges mirrored his previous arrest with stunning accuracy.
"We respect a artist who values consistency," said Gordon Flense, Deputy Undersecretary for Things That Were Fine Before. "Most musicians forget their anniversaries. BigXthaPlug marks his calendar with handcuffs. It is truly romantic."
The Festive Atmosphere
Festival organizers expressed mild disappointment but praised the mathematical beauty of the event. The rapper originally planned to perform a headlining slot. Instead, his legal team spent the evening reviewing the paperwork from both years to look for matching typos.
"He really committed to the bit," said Brenda Vance, lead booking agent for the United Talent Agency. "We usually send flowers for a one-year milestone. A matching set of misdemeanor charges is much more personal."
At press time, publicists for BigXthaPlug were already scouting scenic booking facilities for August 21, 2027.
