BigXthaPlug Says His Mom “Cries Probably Twice A Day” because of Lil Wayne

When it comes to dream collaborations in hip-hop, few names shine brighter than Lil Wayne. For rising Texas rapper BigXthaPlug, landing a feature on Wayne’s highly anticipated Tha Carter VI was not just a career milestone — it became a deeply emotional family moment. According to BigX, his mother has been brought to tears on a daily basis ever since the collaboration dropped, overwhelmed with pride at her son’s success and recognition in the rap world.

This heartfelt revelation came during BigXthaPlug’s recent sit-down with will.i.am on UPROXX’s VISIONARIES. The Dallas native opened up about the emotional reaction from his family, his musical upbringing, and his determination to provide for those closest to him.

BigXthaPlug’s Mother’s Emotional Reaction

When asked by will.i.am what his mother thought about him being part of one of the standout tracks on Lil Wayne’s album, BigX gave a response that immediately resonated with fans.

“My momma cries probably twice a day, if we are being honest,” he revealed.

It’s not difficult to understand why. The collaboration, titled “Hip-Hop” — which also features Jay Jones — quickly became a fan-favorite track from Wayne’s 19-song Tha Carter VI. For BigX’s mother, who raised him through years of challenges and struggles, seeing her son’s name alongside Lil Wayne’s represents more than just industry recognition. It’s a testament to resilience, hard work, and the fulfillment of long-standing dreams.

A Musical Household: Hip-Hop and Soul Influences

BigXthaPlug also shed light on the musical environment he grew up in, explaining how both of his parents shaped his tastes in different ways.

• From his mother, who grew up in Houston, he absorbed the sounds of UGK, Lil Wayne, and Southern rap culture.

• From his father, who leaned more toward soulful R&B, BigX discovered The Isley Brothers and Avant.

This duality — a blend of raw hip-hop energy and soulful, melodic influences — gave BigX the foundation for the unique style he brings to his own music today.

While his father was incarcerated until BigX was about nine years old, his mother’s steady influence helped keep him grounded and inspired. As he explained, her love of rap and her dedication to family continue to drive his artistic journey.

From Housing Projects to Providing for His Family

The rapper didn’t hold back when reflecting on the hardships his family endured before his rise to fame.

“My mom was just in housing four years ago. She was still staying in the projects. She stays with me now,” BigX shared.

The story didn’t stop there. He revealed that not only does his mother live with him now, but so do his grandmother, sister, and daughter. Every single member of his family receives financial support directly from him:

“Everybody in my family got an allowance. Every month, they get a lump sum of money, where they ain’t gotta go ask nobody else.”

This dedication to family showcases BigX’s gratitude and determination to make sure the people who stood by him never have to struggle again. It also highlights a recurring theme in hip-hop: using success not only for personal gain but to uplift loved ones and community.

BigXthaPlug’s Recent Work: I Hope You’re Happy

In addition to his feature on Tha Carter VI, BigX has been busy carving out his own lane. In August, he dropped I Hope You’re Happy, an album that includes fan favorites such as “All The Way” featuring Bailey Zimmerman and “Home” with Shaboozey.

The project cemented BigX’s reputation as a versatile artist who can effortlessly blend street-driven rap with melodic hooks that appeal to a wide audience. It’s a sound that reflects his upbringing and part Southern rap grit, part soulful storytelling.

Lil Wayne’s Ongoing Tha Carter VI Tour

While BigX is enjoying his breakthrough moment, Lil Wayne continues to dominate the rap scene with his Tha Carter VI Tour. The nationwide trek has already delivered electrifying performances, and with a scheduled stop in Dallas on September 17, fans are buzzing about the possibility of BigX making a surprise guest appearance to perform “Hip-Hop” live alongside the rap legend.

Such a moment would not only be a treat for the hometown crowd but also a powerful full-circle moment for the Dallas rapper and his family.

Why the Collaboration Matters

For BigXthaPlug, the collaboration is far more than just another song credit. It represents:

• Validation – Sharing space with one of rap’s greatest artists proves BigX’s talent is recognized at the highest levels.

• Inspiration – His mother’s emotional reaction underscores the cultural and personal significance of the achievement.

• Motivation – The feature drives him to keep working harder, not just for himself but for his entire family.

BigXthaPlug’s Future in Hip-Hop

While this moment with Lil Wayne is career-defining, it’s also just the beginning. BigX has already shown his versatility and storytelling ability with I Hope You’re Happy, and with his rising momentum, it’s clear he has the potential to become one of the most influential voices in modern Southern rap.

As he continues to collaborate with other artists, perform live, and expand his fan base, one thing is certain: BigX will keep making music that resonates not only with fans but also with the people who mean the most to him and his family.

Conclusion: A Moment Bigger Than Music

The story of BigXthaPlug’s collaboration with Lil Wayne on Tha Carter VI is more than a tale of an artist making it big. It’s a story of perseverance, family dedication, and the emotional impact of dreams realized.

For his mother, who once raised her family in housing projects, the moment is so powerful that she admits to crying “probably twice a day.” For BigX, the collaboration is proof that all his hard work and sacrifice are paying off — and it fuels his mission to ensure that his family never has to endure the struggles of the past again.

With his talent, work ethic, and grounded perspective, BigXthaPlug is on the path to not just becoming a rap star but also a lasting inspiration in the music industry.
