“BUST IT BABY” PLIES COVERS VIBE MAGAZINE…

Plies discuses how his 2006 arrest on weapons charges changed his views on the life: “I thought I knew what ‘real’ really meant, in terms of what the streets call real…I honestly thought that what the streets called real was legit.”

Plies responds to the criticism he’s received from other rap artists: “People don’t allow themselves to be honest with themselves until you’re no longer a threat…I don’t concern myself with anyone who’s not coming to my funeral.”

“I really didn’t know what to do. I was in limbo for a long time,” she says of the tragedy. “I didn’t go outside for months.”
