Related:BigXthaPlug\u2019s Wingstop album release party canceled after marijuana, firearms arrest<\/a><\/p>\n BigX, born Xavier Landum, first rose to national recognition with the 2022 anthem \u201cTexas.\u201d On Friday, the 27-year-old artist released a country album<\/a> titled I Hope You\u2019re Happy. <\/p>\n His formal debut in the genre features Ella Langley, Luke Combs and Shaboozey, among other big names in country music. <\/p>\n News Roundups<\/p>\n The album release party will be held from 10 p.m. to midnight at a Dallas Wingstop to be disclosed on the company\u2019s social media later today. For a chance at listening to the album alongside BigX, fans must show a receipt with a buy-one-get-one chicken tender order from Wingstop. <\/p>\n Wingstop has partnered with BigX before. In the music video for his and Shaboozey\u2019s song \u201cHome,\u201d which is on the new album, BigX drinks from a cup with the Dallas-based chain\u2019s logo and a friend munches on chicken wings from there out of a brown takeout bag. The video shoot<\/a> in June closed part of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge near downtown for over seven hours, drawing ire and intrigue from some commuters.<\/p>\n Tonight\u2019s Wingstop event won\u2019t be the first time that an artist with North Texas ties has enlisted the help of a fast casual chain. When Grapevine-raised musician Post Malone<\/a> was promoting his own country crossover with the 2024 album F-1 Trillion<\/a>, he teamed up with Raising Cane\u2019s<\/a>, the chicken finger joint with a major presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. <\/p>\n Related:Post Malone\u2019s smashed-up truck with a side of Raising Cane\u2019s sauce<\/a><\/p>\n Posty and BigX were also photographed<\/a> together in a recording studio earlier this year, but no collaboration between the pair has surfaced. <\/p>\n Between his last project, 2024\u2019s Take Care<\/a>, and now I Hope You\u2019re Happy, BigX has been a media favorite, appearing in publications including Rolling Stone, GQ and Complex. <\/p>\n He recently spoke with The New York Times about his pivot into country, saying that it shares with hip-hop a focus on storytelling. He doesn\u2019t view his music, though, through rigid genres. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not just a hip-hop artist \u2014 I want to be the best artist in the world,\u201d he told The Times. <\/p>\n The party, which fans had a chance to enter, was set for Friday night at a North Texas Wingstop.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old artist born Xavier Landum released a country-crossover album, \u201cI Hope You\u2019re Happy,\u201d on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Update: Editor’s note: This event was canceled following the arrest of BigXthaPlug in Dallas on marijuana and firearms…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":173083,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,76744,185,1596,2105,975,4006,10093,988,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-173082","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-bigxthaplug","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-food-and-drink","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-pop-music","15":"tag-post-malone","16":"tag-restaurants","17":"tag-texas","18":"tag-tx","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115086758810578483","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173082"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173082\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"BigXthaPlug](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1756084471_753_ZHUWZTGFFCSEDCMR6DUTJAMPKA.jpg\")
