BigXthaPlug has received six months of deferred adjudication in connection with a 2025 unlawful weapon case in Dallas County, according to court documents.

The Texas rapper, whose legal name is Xavier Landum, appeared in Dallas County Criminal Court No. 4 on Friday (Aug. 28) on a Class A misdemeanor charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon. The charge stemmed from an alleged offense on Aug. 21, 2025.

The court’s decision comes shortly after BigXThaPlug made headlines for a separate arrest earlier this month. As previously reported by Billboard, the rapper was taken into custody on Aug. 21, 2026, on charges including driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession and unlawful possession of a firearm.

The two cases are separate. The deferred adjudication judgment entered Friday relates specifically to the unlawful carrying of a weapon charge stemming from the 2025 incident.

According to Friday’s judgment, Landum entered a plea of nolo contendere, or no contest, to the charge. The court found that the evidence substantiated his guilt but deferred further proceedings without entering an adjudication of guilt, placing him instead on community supervision.

Under the terms of the negotiated plea agreement, Landum will serve six months of probation. The judgment lists no fine and credits him with three days of time served. His community supervision is scheduled to end on Feb. 28, 2027.

The case dates back to Landum’s August 2025 arrest in Dallas. The rapper was taken into custody following a traffic stop and faced allegations involving marijuana and a firearm.

BigXthaPlug has not publicly commented on the court’s latest ruling.

The country-tinged hip-hop star broke through to the mainstream last year thanks in part to his Bailey Zimmerman-featuring hit “All the Way,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot Country Songs chart.

For seven straight decades, from the 1960s on through the 2020s, the late Dolly Parton charted an iconic string of 50 albums on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart during her lifetime — including 15 top 40-charted sets. Following her passing on Aug. 25, Parton racked up a 16th top 40 set with Ultimate Dolly Parton.

From her debut with Porter Wagoner on Just the Two of Us in 1969, on through her most recent studio album to debut, 2023’s Rockstar, the singer-songwriter left a remarkable impression on Billboard’s signature album chart.

Parton notched four early albums on the Billboard 200 with her former TV co-star and duet partner Wagoner in 1969-71. She charted her first solo entry also in 1969, with My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy.

Parton would not reach the top 40 of the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart until 1978, when Here You Come Again climbed to a No. 20 peak off the strength of its smash title track. The single sailed to No. 3 on the overall Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, and marked her first of eight top 40 hits on the ranking.

After the Here You Come Again album, Parton would hit the top 40 again in short order with Heartbreaker (No. 27 in 1978), Great Balls of Fire (No. 40 in 1979) and 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs (No. 11 in 1981). The latter boasted her first Hot 100 No. 1 in “9 to 5,” which also scored Parton her first Academy Award nomination, for best original song (from the film of the same name, in which Parton co-starred with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin).

Parton would hit the top 40 of the Billboard 200 again in late 1984 with her holiday album Once Upon a Christmas, with Kenny Rogers. Just a year before, the pair teamed up on Parton’s second Hot 100 No. 1, “Islands in the Stream.”

In 1987, Parton joined Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris for the successful Trio album, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and granted Parton her first top 10 on the chart. Trio would garner Parton her first, and so far only, Grammy Award nomination for album of the year.

In the 1990s, Parton notched two more top 40 albums on the Billboard 200 with Eagle When She Flies (No. 24 in 1991) and Slow Dancing With the Moon (No. 16 in 1993). In the 2000s, she brought Backwoods Barbie to the top 40, hitting No. 17 in 2009.

In 2014, Parton achieved her first top 10 on the Billboard 200 unaccompanied by any other acts, as Blue Smoke debuted and peaked at No. 6. She followed it with another top 40 album two years later, Pure & Simple, which hit No. 11.

In the 2020s, Parton has claimed four new top 40-charted albums — more than in any other decade. In 2020, she reached No. 16 with A Holly Dolly Christmas and followed it with Run, Rose, Run (No. 34 in 2022) and the best-of compilation Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection (No. 27 in 2022).

In 2023, Parton claimed her highest charting Billboard 200 album ever, as the all-star collabrations project Rockstar debuted and peaked at No. 3.

The Rockstar project was promoted as Parton’s first rock album, and its recording was sparked by Parton’s induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Through her career, Parton primarily recorded country music, but took detours (via albums and songs) into such genres as Americana/folk, bluegrass, children’s music, Christian, dance/electronic and pop.

The 30-song Rockstar album mixed covers and original tunes and included guests such as Pat Benatar, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Elton John, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton, Ringo Starr, Sting and Steven Tyler.

In the wake of her death, Parton collected a fourth top 10 — and her second-highest-charted album ever — on the Billboard 200 with her 2003 best-of compilation Ultimate Dolly Parton, when it reentered at No. 5 on the Sept. 5, 2026-dated chart.

Kacey Musgraves dedicated her emotional Golden Hour ballad “Rainbow,” as well as a cover of “Here You Come Again,” to Dolly Parton in Boston on Friday (Aug. 28).

Musgraves, who’s on tour in support of her Middle of Nowhere album, took a moment on the TD Garden stage Friday to point out it’s not just Parton’s Grammys, or countless other career accolades, that people are talking about in the wake of the country trailblazer’s death.

“It’s what a humanitarian [she was],” Musgraves said. “Someone always looking out for someone else, looking out for the underdog, even when it probably wasn’t easy, even when it didn’t benefit her career. We can all learn a lot from someone like that.”

“She’s woven into the fabric of who we’ve always been, so it just feels extra sad. Let’s all sing this together for her memory, OK?” she suggested, leading the arena crowd in a sweet sing-along of “Rainbow,” the closing track from Musgraves’ Grammy Award-winning 2018 album, Golden Hour.

Photos of Parton, who passed away on Aug. 25 after a brief battle with cancer, were displayed on the big screen behind Musgraves as the room paid tribute to her, singing, “There’s always been a rainbow hangin’ over your head.”

The next song on Musgraves’ set list at Friday’s show was a performance of “Here You Come Again,” off of Parton’s 1977 studio album of the same name.

“Here You Come Again” was Parton’s earliest pop crossover hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. In fact, just two other recordings from Dolly have topped its success on the all-genre ranking: “9 to 5” and her Kenny Rogers duet “Islands in the Stream,” which both became Hot 100 No. 1s in the early 1980s. Though Parton was a prolific songwriter, “Here You Come Again” was penned by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

Musgraves’ song choice is a callback to when she performed “Here You Come Again” alongside Parton in 2019, during a special segment featuring a medley of Parton’s hits at the Grammys. That year, she also sang the tune in Parton’s honor — as a duet with pop star Katy Perry, in a reprise of their CMT Crossroads performance several years prior — at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala. Musgraves has had a solo cover of “Here You Come Again” in rotation at concerts dating back to 2014.

“She’s an earth angel,” she said of Parton in a red carpet interview at the 2019 Grammys. “She really is. She’s so cool. She’s so present. What I like about her is she has a keen attention to detail, and that’s obviously why she’s had such a long, amazing career. She really cares about those things, she can put her stamp on things without apology … She paved the way for a lot of us, especially in country music. We wouldn’t really be able to do what we do without her. She’s the first who had all of it together. The sex appeal, the brains, the humor, the songwriting, the outfits, the hair.”

Watch the clips Musgraves shared from her Friday night show in Boston below.

Tim McGraw is laughing off a tumble he took onstage during his Pawn Shop Guitar Tour.

In fan-captured footage from his concert at Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center on Thursday (Aug. 27), the 59-year-old country star took a spill while belting out his 1995 hit “I Like It, I Love It.”

In the clip, McGraw’s cowboy boot appears to get caught in a crevice onstage, sending him to the ground. But the “Humble and Kind” singer quickly got back on his feet and continued singing without missing a beat.

McGraw later poked fun at the onstage mishap in a social media post.

“Cincinnati, you started our weekend off on the right foot even if I couldn’t stay on mine,” he captioned a photo gallery from the show on Instagram. “We appreciate you coming out and singing along! Detroit, you’re up!”

Fans quickly took to the comments section to playfully react to the fall.

“I bet your daughters blew up the family group chat,” one person wrote. Another joked, “bubble wrap him for tonight.” A third commended the singer for his professionalism, writing, “SO GLAD YOU DIDN’T HURT YOURSELF! YOU ARE A REAL PRO YOU JUMPED RIGHT UP AND DIDN’T EVEN MISS A BEAT.”

The Grammy-winning superstar launched his Pawn Shop Guitar Tour in mid-July. The North American trek — featuring support from The Chicks, Lady A, 49 Winchester and Timothy Wayne on select dates — is scheduled to wrap Sept. 29 in West Palm Beach, Florida. From there, he’ll head to Las Vegas in October for a five-night residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

McGraw did not address the death of iconic country singer Dolly Parton during Thursday’s Cincinnati concert, but he paid tribute to her earlier in the week on social media.

“She was an icon and showed us all what was possible, not only as a human but as an entertainer,” McGraw wrote on Instagram. “She was the blueprint, head and shoulders above anyone that came before her and all those of us that have come after.”

Parton died on Aug. 25 following a “brief battle with cancer,” according to her team.
