Plies Pays Preteen $1,000 to Leave Concert

By , About.com Guide   November 7, 2009

Follow me on:

pliesMaybe Plies isn't bad for the kids after all. At least not the ones that sneak into his concerts. Plies was in the middle of a show when he spotted a preteen girl in the crowd. "I just realized there's a little girl in here that looks like she's 12 years-old," Plies said. He motioned to his hype men to bring the kid onstage. He then did what any responsible adult would do: He apologized and sent her home.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Before dismissing the girl Plies gave her a parting present of $1,000. Yes, he had exactly $1,000 lying around in his pocket. Hey, I'm just saying. While I commend Plies for taking a stance against having kids at his show, I'm puzzled by his decision to pay her $1,000. Watch the video below.

Wow. Sub par rappers with kindergarden rhymes do have a practical purpose in society after all

It’s WAY more irresponsible to give a pre-teen $1000 than to let her continue watching his pathetic show (which you could only make out the occasional word anyway)

At least he stood up and didn’t let her go on in the show.

For me at least, and assuming Plies has some conscience, once you see that little girl down there it would haunt me the rest of the show and you’d probably feel bad the whole time. Let’s face it, Plies’ songs are definitely not appropriate for a 12 year old girl.

Wow Plies and the 12 year old are almost the same height lol. His music skills are far from large also.

WTH is wrong with the person that brought her to the concert? They should have their a$$ kicked for being stupid enough to bring her. He did the right thing as far as making her leave. Giving her the money. Umm don’t know about that.

l agree with Lammy.It’s really way more irresponsible of him to give a pre teen an amount like that except on the grounds that his probably afraid he was gonna lose his credibility with his fans for sending that young girl away.
Again,that’s some stunt to buy fans coz everybody’s seeing Plies as a nice guy. Btw,having 1,000 doll’s in his pocket ain’t sh-t coz 1,000 doll’s is just 10 pieces of 100 dollars and you can have 20,000 dollars cash in your pocket as an artist if you want to coz he’s making money so what’s the big deal?Except some of you n—- are just some broke a– cats l guess or probably haven’t seen money in bulk before!!!

Very underrated rapper (yea ya’ll some haters) why is it surprising that he’s a responsible adult he’s also a parent.

(12) Lammy says:

BAHAHAHA. Oh yea Plies is REAL responsible. He really is just trying to put out a good message to the kids.
Considering his lead demographic is kids 12-16, if he sends them all away, he won’t have any more 1000.00 ’stunt dollas’ kicking around.
AND guaranteed he had to replace the ”makin it rain” portion of his show for the “12-year-old buyout” portion.

…well at least the money wasn’t to do an R.Kelly (at least we hope)

coming right at you Lammy….first i would like to say ur very ignorant and a hater for the sake of rooting for my sex i hope ur a guy. To me what plies did shows how much he clearly cares for his fans young and old…..he could have just kept goin with the concert he didnt even have to acknowledge her but acting like a responsible adult he did what was right!!!! Soooo STOP hating. plus yall kno damn well her people took that money!!!!!
