BigXthaPlug Ditches WHAM Tour for NBA Youngboy
The announcement came during a casual livestream, and fans went wild over the news.
Fresh off the viral surge of his 
Bailey Zimmerman collab, BigXThaPlug is not slowing down. All The Way has soundtracked half the summer already, while his follow-up single, Home — a link-up with 
Shaboozey — is speeding up the charts like it’s got somewhere to be.
Originally set to join Lil Baby’s WHAM Tour, 
BigX quietly stepped away just before launch, citing a leg injury. But the detour led somewhere else entirely: a surprise music video with Shaboozey, and now, a full-blown tour with 
NBA Youngboy.
The news came casually via BigX’s Twitch stream on Wednesday (July 2), where the Dallas rapper dropped it straight:
“You heard it here first. BigXThaPlug on YB tour. We going crazy.”
No PR rollout. No teasing. Just BigX in a gaming chair, flipping the next chapter of his career like a side quest.
The tour? Make America Slime Again — a title heavy with post-flag iconography and internet-age menace. It kicks off September 1 in Dallas, Youngboy’s home state’s neighbor, and runs until November 12 in Seattle. The album it supports dropped July 4, dressed in a neon green ski mask like it’s robbing the idea of patriotism itself.
Tracks like Finest, Top Tingz, and Where I Been punch through the fog — melodic trap riddled with personal mythology, swamp gospel, and the kind of bite that made Youngboy an outlaw icon. The record arrives after a wild real-world twist: a presidential pardon from Donald Trump earlier this year.
Back on stream, BigX confirmed what fans had already begun to buzz about:
“They going crazy in this ho. BigXThaPlug will be on tour with King Slime himself, Y-Bizzle.”
BigX isn’t just riding the wave — he is the wave. In the past year, he’s gone from regional name to chart-climbing phenom. His hybrid country-rap anthem “All The Way” landed at No. 4 on the Hot 100, marking a major moment for Texas rap.
He’s the first Dallas rapper in years to snag a Best New Artist nod at the BET Awards. Billboard recently gave him their Innovator of the Year title, and his next EP — I Hope You’re Happy — already hints at massive crossover potential, with 
Post Malone and 
Morgan Wallen on deck.
With over 22 million monthly Spotify listeners and a growing army of diehard fans, BigX is reshaping what a Southern rap star can look like — and sound like. The full tour lineup is still under wraps, but one thing’s clear: BigXThaPlug just took a detour into main stage territory.
