As we reported yesterday, a concert promoter in Angola was kidnapped by an investor that had paid a LOT of money to Nas to perform at a New Year’s Eve concert that he failed to show up to. There were some issues with travel, but the investor thought the promoter was trying to scam him and held him and his son hostage until the money was returned from Nas’ team. Though police rescued the man from gun point, he’s still currently being held in a hotel until the issue is resolved. Nas and his people have spoke out about the situation and will be going into action. Get the info below.

Nas wants to help out … but refuses to shoulder the entirety of the blame.

We’re told … Nas and his team DID initially agree to perform the NYE show … but made the decision to call it off due to a “miscommunication” about travel plans.

Sources tell us … Nas never intended to keep the money, but his team is unclear about where to send the check. We’re told Nas’ team is currently working on a solution … and intends to help resolve the matter ASAP.

One source tells us … “The key is getting Patrick Allocco home safely.”
