Young Thug Responds To Plies Calling Him A "Lower Tier" Artist

The beef between Plies and Young Thug is back on. A couple of days ago, the beef between Young Thug and The Game was reignited. Today, Thug is back to sparring with another rapper he had issues with last year: Plies. Strangely enough, both of Thug's current beefs involve his young daughter. Thug and Game got back into it by posting pictures of each other's daughters on their Instagram pages, and back in September, his beef with Plies started when the Florida rapper (unknowingly) posted a video clip of Thug's daughter using profanity to his Instagram. Yesterday, Plies was the one to incite Young Thug, when he appeared on Complex's web show "Well Rounded" and called Thugger a "lower tier artist." "I don't play with a certain tier of artists, like you trying to get poppin' and shit," said Plies when asked about the comments Thug made about him last month on Sway (that he might "slap the shit" out of him next time he sees him). "I don't fuck with lower tier artists," concluded the "Ritz Carlton" rapper. When asked why Plies considers Thug to be "lower tier," he referenced Thug's first-week sales, presumably those of his latest project, I'm Up: "Um, you sold, what? Shit, 10-14,000 records the first week. I don't know, you tell me what tier it is."

Cops Rolled Up On A Plies Video Shoot Thinking It Was A Hostage Situation

The many guns in Plies' new video caused a misunderstanding with police. Florida police approached what they were told was a hostage situation this weekend, but it turned out to be nothing more than a Plies video shoot. Someone apparently called 911 after they saw Plies and another guy pointing guns at a third man, which they described as two black males holding a white man hostage. When the cops arrived, it was pretty clear what was actually going on, and while they discovered the weapons were unloaded, they advised against leaving a pile of artillery out in the open. The firearms were being used in a scene where Plies was meant to be picking up guns from Haitian gangsters.
