00:00First of all, I just want to say thank you Billboard, thank you Nashville, you

00:05guys have been obviously amazing, a place I call home, so thank y'all for allowing

00:09me to do this, and yeah man. It's my honor to present Billboard's 2025

00:14Innovator of the Year Award to my friend and my brother, Big X to plug.

00:22X is someone who didn't just break the mold, he melted it down and made his own.

00:26X's distinct tone, punchy delivery, raw storytelling ability, and larger-than-life

00:31stage presence have helped him become one of rap's most recognizable newcomers, and

00:36now he's taking the energy to country as he ushers in a new chapter in his already

00:40Hall of Fame career. But what really makes X an innovator is not just his unique

00:46sound and his trademark ad-lib, it's the way he moves, his independent mindset, his

00:52culture-first decision-making, empowering his team, his city, and his people.

00:58It's way bigger than just music, he's building a legacy, a blueprint, and a franchise.

01:04So from Dallas to the world, from studio stages, from studio sessions to stadium stages,

01:10we see you Big X.

01:10Yeah!

01:11We salute your growth, your grind, and your genius. With that said, here's to the

01:21Billboard's Innovator of the Year. Make some noise for the biggest, the largest,

02:55Uh, I want to thank my team, UM, my managers, Kyle and Brandon, for dealing with my crazy

03:01behavior. I know sometimes, you know, I could be a handful, especially with making this,

03:05this new project.

03:06Man, I know y'all had to deal with me.

03:08Um, lastly, I want to thank Music, just for allowing me to be creative and to express myself
