BigXthaPlug had the honor of collaborating with a number of modern country artists on his latest album, I Hope You're Happy, including Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Shaboozey, Thomas Rhett, Bailey Zimmerman, and the country star he was most taken by, according to a recent interview, Ella Langley.

How Did Ella Langley and BigXthaPlug Meet?
The duo worked on the track "Hell at Night", and it's easy to hear why the ballad has become a favorite. Langley's sweet vocals on the song's chorus are the perfect response to the rapper's deep voice. A light, twangy rhythm connects the two. The song perfectly achieves BigXthaPlug's goal of telling his story "straight up."
Although the track carries a darker tone, their first meeting was anything but somber. It filled BigXthaPlug's heart with light. When he spoke with Amber Anderson and Kelly Sutton on Amazon's Country Heat Weekly podcast, BigXthaPlug said he didn't know her until they met in person.
We'll let him take over from here:
"She comes walking up to me. It was like a light, like this [makes wide open arms gesture], and felt like was around her. And she was just walking, and her hair was just... it was like a movie.
"I've never fell in love with a person the first day. I was in love, I was in love; I have a crush on Ella Langley...I will say that right now. I do."
BigXthaplug Has Some Competition for Ella Langley's Affections
Of course, BigXthaPlug isn't the first artist to have chemistry with Langley. Fans continue to speculate whether she is in a relationship with her duet partner on "You Look Like You Love Me," Riley Green.
Neither singer has confirmed that a relationship is happening between them, despite images online showing the duo together and rumors suggesting that the two are romantically involved. She even had to address the rumors on social media.
"When it's a love song, 'We know who this is about.' When it's a breakup song, 'We know who this is about,'" Langley wrote on a banner on the TikTok video. "Maybe I have a life outside of social media drama."
All we can say to BigXthaPlus is, maybe you have a chance?
