VH1's annual special highlighting the success and accolades of Hip-Hop will have to continue with one less southern rap representative hitting the stage.

Plies is announcing that he will not perform at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors despite  being confirmed to perform in March.

As previously reported Plies pushed up the release the date of his Goon Affiliated album from May 25^th to June 8^th and a result he now faces a scheduling conflict.

Speaking on his decision to cancel Plies released a statement saying that he chose an opportunity to connect with fans instead of performing for the ceremony.

"I had to make a choice between personally meeting with my fans during my album promo tour or performing at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and the choice was easy –fans come first.”

The Hip-Hop Honors are paying tribute to the Dirty South this year and will celebrate the music of Jermaine Dupri, J Prince of Rap-A-Lot Records, Luther "Luke" Campbell, The 2 Live Crew, Master P, Organized Noize and Timbaland.

The Hip-Hop Honors air June 7th at 9 p.m. on VH1.

Goon Affiliated hits stores June 8th and features Young Jeezy, Fabolous and Keri Hilson.
