Rapper BigXThaPlug performed at a show in Seattle on December 8, 2024, when he had a dispute with a fan. A report by TMZ stated that the fan was reportedly interrupting the rapper's performance and the situation took a disruptive turn when the fan threw water at the artist, who is 26 years old.

A video of the entire incident is now going viral on social media where BigXThaPlug, also known as Xavier Landum, can be spotted reacting frustratingly at the fan's actions. However, many things are not visible in the clip considering that it was shaking while being recorded.

According to The Express Tribune, Xavier and his crew immediately responded by confronting the fan, which eventually led to a fight between both sides. The fan was allegedly injured in the dispute, which left him with a bloody face. The viral video also shows Xavier jumping off the stage.

The show was paused briefly while the police arrived at the spot. The situation was brought under control and Xavier continued with his performance on stage. Xavier has not spoken about the incident from his side and further updates on the same are currently awaited.

As per the latest update, the victim has now come forward to speak up on what happened on that particular day. TMZ acquired an incident report where the fan alleged that he had a bottle of water in his hand and the liquid was thrown towards stage because he was pushed from behind.

The fan claimed that BigXThaPlug reportedly told a person from his crew to hit him, following which the other members of Xavier's team also jumped below the stage to hit the individual. He alleged that he was hit around 50 times and had to get hospitalized for the same. The victim reportedly lost some of his items, including two gold chains and sunglasses.


BigXThaPlug had removed a few fans from his performance last month

On December 4, 2024, BigXThaPlug appeared at the Regent Theatre as part of his ongoing Take Care tour. However, he witnessed a group of people getting into a dispute while performing his single Law & Order.

According to TMZ, Xavier told one of the security guards to throw the group out of the venue. While an individual reportedly approached Xavier to explain what exactly led to the dispute, Xavier refused to listen.

BigXThaPlug performed in Houston the previous month and the show received a positive response from the audience. According to Houston Press, Xavier expressed his happiness about the same in a statement that reads:

"Houston is like a second home for me. When I was building up as an artist I was taking a lot of road trips to Houston. Once I had my city on lock the next stop is always here. It's a family thing."

The Dallas native is already trending this year after the release of his second album, Take Care, which was released on October 11, 2024. It features 15 songs in the soundtrack and debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200.
