Back in 2006, a shooting broke out at one of rapper Plies’s performance in Gainesville, Florida that left five attendees injured. Now, five years and two civil suits later, Plies finally took the stand in the case against him and his entourage.
According to reports, Plies’s brother Ronell Levatte and two other men fired shots into the air at a performance at Gainesville’s 283 West nightclub when the Slip-N-Slide rapper’s mic was cut off. While on the stand last week, Plies testified in court about the ’06 shooting incident, saying that he had nothing to do with his brother or the other two guilty parties’ actions.
The $10 million civil suit against Plies, which is the second of two levied against the rapper over the incident, has endured a long road to trial. Despite the fact that the suit was first brought up in March 2010, a court judge dismissed the case in July 2010 on the basis that Plies had not fired the weapon. Now, the plaintiffs have redirected their suit to show that he rapper profited off their injuries.
The full report on the testimony can be seen below.

UPDATE: Plies and his brother were found civilly liable for the 2006 club shooting. After seven days of testimony, the jury deliberated for under eight hours and awarded the victims $200,000 total. Plies was not present for the verdict, as he was stuck on the “other side of town.” The defense plans to file several motions that may lead to appeal.
blehhhh, they only goin after plies cause he got cash lol…
does he???
Yes Big face hunnids!
wow bum ass niggas just tryna get paid.
nigga got shot, if i pay to go to a show im not going there to wind up in a hospital and if i do i want some fucking money especially when some dumass nigga on stage is the one who shot me
who cares for this dumb wack fuck
all that cracker racist shit u talk in your rhymes is bitin u in the ass now bitch cuz a cracker hold your fate in their hands right now bitch
word sun, he hurt ur feelings boo boo. haha. fuck at all that bulshit we are the world hiphop bulshit. man straight up and down, y’all might fuck with the music, but at the end of the day. you are who you are.
no case here
He better take the civil penalties and run with it. It’s a much better outcome as opposed to criminal charges.
his brother already did his time for that shooting. It happened in 06
Yeah they can get him with attempted manslaughter, assault..he lucky he just got to give up the paper but his street cred is finished from Jamie Fox pointing out he a sucka a him looking like one on the stand…invest the rest of ya paper in real estate….he done
When keeping it real goes wrong LMAO…
had it been a regular ass nigga i bet a million they would’ve been like ok we gonna get them niggas back mane, watch…but cause its a nigga with some “celebrity” status they like oh lets pretend to be all christian like and cry on the stand get yo big wet baby booty soft ass outta here
I think this is so stupid why make Plies pay for something his brother did. And that big nigga on the stand crying too funny. These juries these days are stupid. Casey Anthony gets found not guilty and Plies has to pay for something he didnt do.
funny? have you been shot before? thinking was gonna die like that? that shit ain’t funny. if you was street you would know that is real.
Plies is the just a southern version of ja rule both short both pretend to be thugs/goons both are below average mc’s both have same kinda rapping voice both get in problems cause of the ppl around them and they both love the cock!!!
So fucking true dude. I was hoping it was the full $10 Million so this nigga goes broke. Fuck being a hater, dude is wack, period.
