Texas Rapper BigXthePlug Plans Family Compound
Texas rapper BigXthePlug has revealed his plans to construct a family compound. During an October 2026 appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast, he discussed the project with host Shannon Sharpe. BigX explained that he's already doing a lot to support his family, and this compound will make it much easier.
“‘Cause it’s like, now I got to deal with [your aunt calling for] mortgage, your cousin calling for rent, this person calling for this, light bill, gas bill. Everything already [taken] care of,” BigX said. “So that’s one less burden on me.”
As part of the compound, BigX is building a massive convention center. He hopes this will provide more opportunities for his extended family to spend time together. He currently has his immediate family—mother, grandmother, and sisters—living with him, all of whom don’t have to work. There are also two security guards.
“I treat everything like we call our house the kingdom, ’cause we treat each other like kings and queens,” BigX said.
BigX also shared his thoughts on the longevity of rap, believing it's a dying genre. He attributes this to the rise of drill rap and social media.
“I been rapping five years. Ain’t no way I should be at the top. There’s no way somebody that got a TikTok song should have the number one hip-hop song in the world.”
He continued, criticizing the industry for favoring those who haven’t put in the work, comparing it to Drake versus Future.
“The hip-hop game, I feel like, now is a money game.”
