American rapper and actor.
The concert promoter who says he was taken hostage at gunpoint and
held for ransom -- all because Nas was a no-show for a gig -- is now
suing the rapper for $10 MILLION. Patrick Allocco says he was
kidnapped in December 2011 in Angola because Nas failed to show up for
a New Year's Eve concert after taking a $300,000 pay day.Allocco says
he was held as ransom by Angolan promoters and their "henchmen"
because they wanted their cash back. He was finally released in
February 2012.
According to a new federal lawsuit filed Friday, Allocco wants the
rapper to pay for what happened to him. Specifically, he claims he was
held captive for 50 days -- during which time he says he was beaten
and threatened constantly. Allocco is suing Nas for $10 million,
claiming he suffered psychologically, physically and financially. He
claims that while stuck in Angola, he was unable to do business ...
and as a result lost his home and his company. We reached out to Nas,
but so far no word back.
