Is Plies a Fraud?


According to NecoleBitchie:

Just on the heels of Rick Ross being exposed for lying about his past in law enforcement, the folks over at Hip Hop DX has discovered that Plies may be a fraud as well. Although Plies who proclaims himself a “goon affiliated, ex-drug dealer”, raps about a criminal past, his records show that he hadn’t had any run ins with the laws until after his records were made.

HipHopDX has obtained documentation from the state of Florida that lists the “definition of real” rapper’s first real run-in with the law to have not taken place until two years ago, on April 12, 2006, when Plies - real name Algernod Lanier Washington, born May 22, 1976 - would have been on the eve of his 30th birthday and just beginning his ascension to his current status of gold-certified rap star.

But there are the occasional past tense references to what appear to be claims of his own criminal activity. One glaring example can be found during his lament on the suffering his alleged criminal activities caused his mother on “Runnin My Momma Crazy,” in which he recollects: “Remember the nights, me sittin’ up in a cold cell/I’m wakin’ ya up out’cha sleep, it’s me callin’ you from jail.” While passionate, his verse’s claim that he was ever in a “cold cell” now appears to be untruthful, as according to the FDLE’s report Plies was never in jail for any period of time prior to 2006
