A concert promoter filed a lawsuit against rapper Nas
on Friday, December 19, asking for $10 million. Patrick Allocco claimed
in his lawsuit that Nas' no-show at a concert in Angola had resulted in
him being kidnapped and tortured a year ago.
Alloco, the CEO of AllGood Entertainment, revealed in January that he
and his son were kidnapped by hired "hencemen" working for a local
"concert impresario" named Henrique "Riquhino" Miguel who sponsored the
New Year's Eve gig. And when Nas and supporting act Jemiah Jai failed to
show up, Miguel wanted his money back.
Alloco also said that Nas and Jai took a pay check of $315,000 in total.
"The hope is that Nas and Jemiah Jai will return all of the monies that
were wired to them immediately so that our ransom may be paid and our
safe return to the United States may be facilitated," his people said at
that time. Nas and Jai did eventually repay the money.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Alloco said he was held captive for 50
days, beaten and threatened constantly. He wanted Nas to pay $10 million
in compensation for his loss of business and home as a result of his
kidnapping as well as for psychological and physical damage. The court
papers also mentioned that Nas was in Miami to attend a NYE engagement
party at the home of basketball star LeBron James.
