Nas Responds To Promoter’s Abduction, Wants to Help Out

We reported yesterday that American concert promoter Patrick Allocco and his son had been abducted at gun point in Angola by goons for a local ‘concert impresario’, after Nas had failed to make it to Angola to deliver the two concerts he had agreed to. Henrique “Riquhino” Miguel, the local impresario, had fronted the $315,000 to book Nas and Jemiah Jai for the shows, and was obviously angry when the pair failed to show up.
Allocco and his son were later freed with the help of American Embassy, and are now apparently staying in a hotel until the matter is resolved.
TMZ now reports that, upon hearing the news, Nas stated that he was ready to pay a huge sum of money to get Allocco and his son back to the United States. Nas however refused to take the entire blame for his no-show in Angola: he claims that they had decided to call the trip off due to “miscommunication” regarding travel arrangements.
A TMZ source claims that Nas never had any intentions of keeping the money, but that his team is currently uncertain as to where they are supposed to send it. The source however confirms that they are working on it, and that bringing Allocco back to the United States safely is the main priority.
