BIG GATES SAY'S PLIES WAS NOT ARRESTED SAY'S HIS ENEMIES CALLED THE COPS!

Ronelle "Big Gates" Levatte, manager/brother of rapper Plies, has responded to rumors that his younger brother was incarcerated after a show in Atlanta last week.
According to reports, Plies born Algernod Washington, was allegedly arrested by federal agents after a performance at the Hot 107.9’s Jingle Bash.

The show, which took place on December 26th, featured performances by Lil Wayne, Keri Hilson, Soulja Boy and Trey Songz.

In an exclusive statement to AllHipHop.com, Big Gates, also founder and co-owner of Plies’ label Big Gates Records, claimed an unknown person called the police on Plies prior to his performance.

"Enemies of my little brother Plies contacted police in a failed attempt to have him arrested prior to his performance in Atlanta," Big Gates told AllHipHop.com. "Plies was not detained Nor arrested."

Big Gates said that Plies is not in the custody of federal agents.

The rapper recently shot a video for “Medicine” featuring Keri Hilson in addition to preparing material for his upcoming album, Goon Affiliated, which is due in stores in Spring 2010.
