Akon explained in interviews that there was some miscommunication between him and Plies in regards to who held the rights to the track.
Maintaining persistence, Plies was able to stay on a forward path and rebounded with the next-best producer after Akon. T-Pain helmed the Fort Myers rapper’s breakout hit “Shawty” from his debut, The Real Testament, which is due Tuesday (August 7) on Slip-N-Slide/ Atlantic Records.
“I think a lot of times when good things happen in your life,” Plies told MTV News recently, “that’s the only thing that people like to acknowledge. ... And I beg to differ. I think a lot of times some of the bad things that happen in your life are hidden blessings as well. For that particular situation with Akon, out of respect to the situation, I never try to talk about issues that all parties aren’t currently here to talk about with me. ...
In no way is there a problem amongst me and another party. (Akon and I) had the luxury of collaborating on my album. It’s a real, real big record called ‘Hypnotized’. That ‘I Wanna Love You’ record was a big record for him, and I take my hat off to him and Snoop and congratulate them.”
According to Plies, the new Akon collabo is set to be his next single, which they’re scheduled to shoot a video for shortly.
“We chopping it up right now,” he said.

Fort Myers aka Lil Pakistan stand the fuck up
941 239 ft myers sarasota~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ha plies you lmae.
nigga sound like a bootleg trick daddy
AND....
Something else that is similar to this is Plies' single "Shawty" was originally for Webbie feat. T-Pain but Webbie didn't have his bread right at the time or something on that nature and Plies picked up the song.
The Webbie version is also all over the internet as an underground track.... but just to let you know, its not a mixtape track, it was originally for Webbie.
I dont really care, its just knowledge
Webbies version of Shawty is way better. Hyponotized is a hot song, about the only good one on The Real Testament. Plies need to step up.
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! YALL AINT LISTEN HIS MUSIC HE IS NOT A FUCKING RAPPER HE SAYS IT HIMSELF REAL RECOGNIZE REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STUPID FUCKS AND HIS ALBULM IS REAL GOOD I SUGGEST 4 YALL TO GET IT!!
plies is fake!!no one likes him in florida nigga in palm bitch want to fuck him up
no one likes that nigga what are you talking about. bitch i m from miami and that dude has so much respect here and in fort myers that it would blow your mind , if you know all the shit that he did with his brother. that dude is a ral nigga
YOU FUCKING HOEIN YO SELF
nigga gonna be washed up in bout a year anyway
Yo Plies got a flow, he cant really put words together all that good.
I mean he aint wack. Dont know if he real.
(and correction: Drumma Boy told me that Webbie didnt want it cuz his album wasnt ready!)
tha dude can articulate a thought inna interview and he's a humble dude if u meet him in person.......nigga is real coo nd down ta earth so its nothin but respect from Dallas ya dig
YEAH HE CANT PUT WORDS 2GETHER TO GUD!! LOL
yea i hear the same, i was in florida for about a year and everybody was boomin him. i was listenin to jeezy and after i left them projects everybody was boomin jeezy. people there just say he fake as hell, thats about it.
if u go to west palm ask bout that nigga they say he is fake.they say his brother real but thats it.thats y bloodraw,lil booise and webbie dont like that nigga
u guys are outta your mind the real testament was hot..
his flows is cool his lyrics are pretty wack
he will fit in with many rappers of this age
the only fuls from florida i fuck with are trick, pitbull, and once rick ross
RICK ROSS IS THE BEST IN MIAOTHERS NIGGAZ IS JUST PURE GARBAGE
I live in Orlando right now and everybody from the MI YAYO tells me that this guy is fake as hell. I've heard plenty stories about this guy taking his brother's identity and using it to gain street credibility. That's one of the most fake things someone can do. I don't respect this cat cuz first and foremost he can't rap.
SO WHY THE FUCK IS HE DROPPING ALBUMS N SHIT ??? NI99AZ got the game fukked up. And Like acemobsoldier said before me, Plies will be washed up and disappear within a year. Real rap is on its way back to the top. If you didn't know Common's album was #1 in the country this week. Those crack rappers aint sell shit like always. Except for T.I acting ass. This skinny bitch more focused on oscars and film companies than making good music. Notice I said GOOD music not HOOD music. Ni99az tired of living in the hood. That's why I took my black ass to college.
well from one o-town nigga 2 anotha u aint got 2 far yet cuz i kno 4 a fact6 da hood will follow ya azz rite 2 college round here n we need niggas speakin 4 da hood cuz dat im black and proud back 2 africa movement iz a fuckin sales approach juz not as outright wit it BIG UP 2 PLIES 4 talkin bout da hood da only place n da world where u can cum from nuttin 2 sumfin
P.S. IF he so fake y da governor of da state (TDD trick daddy dollars 4 dose dat r lost) sign him n groomin well see whos washed up OVV
I don't know what part of Orlando ya'll stay in (probabyly the eastside) but coming from someone that stays on the westside(Richmond Heights), thats all be bump is Plies. If you don't understand him it then you ain't never lived a street life. That man go hard in the paint, ya heard!!! We living everyday day like its friday!!!
I DONT CARE HOW REAL A PERSON SAY THEY CAN BE BUT, IF THE NIGGA CANT RAP THEN ITS NO
POINT TO EVEN GET ON A RECORD!!! SO... I CREDIT HIM CAUSE HE REPS THE HOOD
BUT AS AN ARTIST NO!
Whatever man plies is straight..and fine
all i got to say is you haters should listen to shawty,i just want the paper and hypnotize and youre would get plies swagger.also msclarkkent youre fine hope thats ur real pic.
yo that track MS PRETTY PUSSY IS THE SHYT!
I fuck off that song all the time. Girls love that shyt! lol
(OH AND THAT BONUS CD WITH THE SONG "WATER"! that shyt trill!)
I want a girl pussy that smell like Water! LMAFO! ;)
I co-sign wit FreddieG. That's what's wrong with the rap game now. Niggaz is letting talentless rappers get by because they "real niggaz". That real shit don't really mean nothing. "IF THE NIGGA CAN'T RAP THEN IT'S NO!!!" LMAO
Cosign my nig
THIS NIGGA ANT SO BAD
Plies cant rap to save a nation. The him and t pain was in was hot only because of t pain chorus and the beat. Plies lyrics r 2 raw for a song that is made to make your gurl fill good. THis dude talkin bout takin pipe and cummin. T pain should have put a rapper that been in the game to rap that part.
plies is so sexey and i wish he was my boo im his shawty

At LeesT Akon Got sum Sence takiin daT ni99a Off her hisZ shiiT prolly wuDDa been RuiineD
it shoulnt be no beef he only rap aboout sex he need to stay doing his own shit
You have to be fuckin nuts. I love Snoop but the version with him spoiled the damn song. Asked the DJ's when they played that shit in da club what everybody ran to DJ booth and said " Play the version with Plies on it!" Because it was that real shit. MixedMiami19 you are a Certified HATER and you need a day job quick, fast, and hurry. Look in the mirror thats prolly lol why you are mad.
trick is nuts and likes being cought in shit like that,but i like PLIES, he is just doin his thang that gets dem niggaz 'HATIN ON HIM'for nothin. FUCK TRICK......
