Plies can now be added to the list of rappers and entertainers who are being sued. He was named as one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed by five residents of Gainesville, FL, who were all injured during a 2006 shooting at a Plies concert. The plaintiffs are seeking $10 million in damanages and Plies lawyer says their sueing the wrong person, "If they're suing Mr. Washington, they're suing the wrong person," continuing "He does not have legal liability. It is not an entertainer's job to provide security for a club where the entertainer is performing."
Besides Plies, his label Slip-N-Slide Records and 283 West, the nightclub where Plies was performing when the incident took place. The lawsuit says that Plies is responsible becomes members of his entourage fired into a sold-out crowd of close to 1,000 attendees after the rapper's microphone was shut off to allow the next performer, Lil' Boosie, to take the stage. Plies' brother Ronell Lavatte, 31 at the time, and then 21-year-old Tory Carnegie - were accused of firing at least three rounds and charged with attempted murder. After police searched their ride, they found five loaded firearms and additional rounds of ammunition. Plies and another member of his entourage, Keon Mc. Rae, were then charged with illegal possession of a concealed weapon.
