BigXthaPlug on new music, life after prison, promise to his kids, hating industry, life lessons from his dad, son teaching him patience and why he chooses to be naked.

"I love my fans, I don’t love music or the industry but I do it to provide for my kids.” BigXthaPlug  In his first exclusive sit-down ahead of his highly anticipated new album, BigXthaPlug joins The Pivot Podcast for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the man behind the music — and the battles that success can’t silence. From life after prison to navigating fatherhood in the spotlight, BigXthaPlug opens up about his evolving relationship with his parents, the bond he shares with his father and mother, and the life-changing moment he learned his son has autism. He reflects on the responsibilities of being a dad, the sacrifices he makes for his children, and why, despite his frustrations with the music industry, he continues to show up and do what he does for them. But beyond the fame, the hits, and the success, there’s another side of BigXthaPlug that few get to see. He gets candid about struggling with unhappiness and loneliness, searching for peace in the middle of the chaos, and finding comfort in the small moments that make life feel a little lighter. He also shares why therapy isn’t for him and what it looks like to navigate his emotions on his own terms. With the vulnerability and honesty that define The Pivot, this conversation goes beyond the artist to explore the father, the son, and the man still figuring it all out. And for the football fans, BigXthaPlug lets his Texans pride show, proving that even with everything on his plate, he’s still repping Houston. Before the next chapter of his music career begins, BigXthaPlug sits down with Ryan, Channing, and Fred to discuss the weight of success, the realities of fatherhood, and the pursuit of peace in a world that never stops demanding more. This is BigXthaPlug beyond the music — unfiltered, unapologetic, and real. Watch on Netflix for full video episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
