Plies, born Algernod Washington, has been named as one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed by five Gainesville, FL residents in the Alachua County civil courthouse yesterday. The plaintiffs, who were injured during a 2006 shooting at a Plies concert, are seeking $10 million dollars in damages. “If they’re suing Mr. Washington, they’re suing the wrong person,” Plies attorney Robert Rush said. “He does not have legal liability. It is not an entertainer’s job to provide security for a club where the entertainer is performing.” Allegedly,  Plies’ entourage fired into a sold-out crowd of more than 1,000 people after the rapper’s microphone was shut off to allow the next performer, Lil’ Boosie, to take the stage. Plies’ brother and a friend named Tory Carnegie were accused of firing the shots and charged with attempted murder.
