Plies has become popular for his radio friendly hits targeting the ladies, but if you've heard some of his non-radio music, you know the Florida rapper spits tales of a rugged street background where being a gangster is the only way of life.
But, like most rappers, his credibility has come into question at times.
During a recent broadcast of his Foxxhole radio show on Sirius Satellite, actor/singer Jamie Foxx detailed an incident where Plies hid when "30 real n****s" came onto their video set.
According to Foxx, he disfused the situation before anything could happen, but afterward, Plies was nowhere to be found.
"After we calmed the situation, I shook 30 hands. Aight n****, aight cool, you too. ..." the actor explained. "[Backstage, they] telling me 'Foxx, I think you should stay back here'. I'm not trying to stay back here in this dressing room. I'm finna stay out, I'm not staying back here. I get out there, and we can't find Plies. I understand why. You know why? He was afraid for his life. You never know, he could'a died. He ran to the bathroom."
Foxx said that the men were upset at the persona rappers like Plies portray in their music, and they were there to see he was the person he talks about in his music. So, Foxx confronted them to calm things down.
"30 real n****s came on the set," he said. "It was 30 t-shirts ... I look up -- since I been in L.A. for 23 years, I say 'Ok, I know what I gotta do. I gotta go over there and meet it head on. I can't let it get outta control.' I'm not trying to be no hero, but let me at least talk to whoever the f*** this is.
"The dude was like 'Yo n****, these n****s is faking our lives Foxx.' I said 'Who are you talking about?' [He's like] 'These punk ass n****s running from Suge and...' I'm like 'Hey, we just shooting a video.' "

Confused, Foxx asked his friend the men had so much animosity towards the rapper. He explained he hadn't heard Plies' music outside his radio hits, to which his friend Tasha threw on some street cuts for him to listen to.
After that, he understood.
"My girl Tasha asked me, 'You never heard Plies music?' I said 'Nah, put it on,' " Foxx said. "I said 'You got to be kidding me.' He's talking about killing and goon this and kill that. That's what these dudes was listening to. They wanna find out: is the dude really real, because we gonna kill him."
When you write about that type of shyt you open up the door for shyt like that. Dude probably ran off & left his homeboys when the shyt popped. Be true to yourself homie & the rest will handle itself. Make another song about wining & dining some young broad & her doing some shyt with ice cubes in her mouth, but leave that real shyt to the katz who are so throwed off they actually live that shyt.
Lmfao! Come to L.A. and niggaz want to see what you about. Especially if you say you bang. Many have failed the test ie Lil Wayne, Jim Jones, etc. And it’s funny cuz Suge usually behind the shit too and he don’t get no respect in Southern Cali.
Damn Plies,let me guess you not really a goon you just play one on tv,when will you guys learn when a real street dude & yes they do exist come on one of these lying ass rappers video set ie 50,Ross,Gucci & Clipse & murder one of these dummies.
LMAO these dam studio gangstars like Rick Ross but let’s be real 30 to one you woulda ran too hell I would there’s being brave and Theres also being stupid like the great Bob Marley say ” he who fight N ran away live to fight another day”
well first of all i doubt dat shit is true but i mean if it is, y would Jamie do some shit like dat, y would u do a song wit a dude an u dont even know what he rap about
Wow Jamie what’s next are you gonna tell us the sky is blue? No shit these rappers are entertainers and how come he does a song with Plies but doesn’t know his lyrics.
30-1, that one person better leave. Even if you are a goon. That’s y its good to know math. If suge got knocked out and he was up 3-1, my advice is, if you 29 people short,,, leave. It aint worth it. Now if he run from a one on one, then we can call him soft.
Let me get this right… so 30 grown ass men wanted to run up on Plies and do what? See if he really bout what he rap about? How was he going to prove it to them, shoot one of them? Did they decide ahead of time who was going to take the bullet. This has got to be the most ignorant shit I’ve ever heard.
@Loon:U must be tripping if u don’t think Suge got respect in Southern Cali. That nigga Suge still got real Goons,doing his dirty work running up on fools running they pockets for real. U try and run up on suge and ill bet “they’ll find ur body floating in venice beach”
@judkins415: suge got knoked out took two consecutive losses and no bodies been came up missing yet suge wak. Plies did the right thing cause aint no way a nigga with sense gon stay there with odds like that.
Any life of value is worth saving….if these dudes were really going to kill him he did the smart thing. He will live another day to write another song.
@judkins415 notice I said southern cali Suge is basically a dead man walking he got niggas up north that hold him down. When he was locked up those was the only niggaz holdin him down. Yeah he may have a few goons but niggaz got sets that run from L.A. to San Diego. Ain’t nobody scare of Suge that’s why he got knock out by a barber.
Hold up, I thought the story with Plies was that he was originally a producer, and the dude he was trying to produce couldn’t get the songs right. In lieu of that Plies stepped in. I thought he was KNOWN as a studio gangsta…..I agree the math was all kinds of phucked up (30 to see 1?!?!!?), but even with that, I don’t think he’s a tuff guy at all.
PLIES MAY INDEED STILL BE A REAL NIGGA.. BUT A GOON I DOUBT THAT. FACT IS A REAL GOON STAYS STRAPPED,ALL THAT DEM GUYS RAPPIN BOUT IS COMING FROM THE REAL GOONS IN THERE HOOD THEY LOOKED UP TO COMING UP. IF IT WAS ME A REAL GOON I HAD A 100 ROUND DRUM AND THEY WOULD OF GOT 3 A PIECE AND 1 TO GRO ON.
Ma question is why would Jamie Fox and his people allow 30 thugs into a place of busnese don’t they have any kind of security in this studio well I garanty you he won’t be getting no more interviews nobody is gonna take that risk no matter how bad they claim to be he just fucked himself or did he set dude up it seems like everybody tryin to be a badass
plies went to college on a basketball scholarship his brother us the one he raps about he tellin another nigggs story its know fact in florida he a fake even still aint no nigga in his right mind gonna confront 30 niggas by himself thats dumd i dont see 30 random ass niggas gettin together to fo thid dhit maybe the number is being strecthrd
TRUST ME I WAS THERE WHEN THAT SHIT POPPED OFF,JAMIE FORGOT 2 ALSO SAY THAT 1 OF PLIES GOON PULL OUT A CHOPPER & SAID LET THEM IN..HE WAS READY 2 PULL THAT TRIGGER HE WAS READY 2 SHOOT @ EVERYBODY BUT PLIES TOLD HIM NO..I WAS THERE SCARED 4 MY LIFE CUZ I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING DOWN..PLIES DID TALK IT OVER WIT THOSE OTHER GOONS THAT WANTED 2 BEAT HIM UP..I DIDNT BLAME PLIES 4 WHAT HE DID HE WAS ONLY 5 DEEP AGAINST 20 SOMETHING..BUT LIKE I SAID 1 OF HIS GOON WAS NOT GOING OUT..ONE
Honestly if these are supposed real goons why does it take 30 of them?? Really??why would someone sit there and get beat to a pulp , stabbed or shot for 30 hating ass n**gas. Who obviously have nothing to lose.took time out they BUSY ass lives to confront my baby lol.. I LOVE U PLIES
plies did the smart thing. but goons and street niggas dont always do the smart thing. i know plenty niggas including myself who been in situations like that and didnt run and hide. most of the niggas i know down to die over they respect
Why do it take 30 dudes? So they showed that Plies wasn’t real, but they also showed that they wasn’t either!! real N**** don’t need 30 dudes…..40 pink.
