Angolan Gangster Tells Rapper Nas: “You Owe Me”

Written by Adisa Banjoko, West Coast Editor on January 5, 2012 12:30 am

Days ago we talked about rapper Rick Ross pulling out of a concert in Nigeria and all the fallout from it. Well, I guess Hip-Hop icon Nas has gotten himself into a bit of trouble in the Motherland. His associate Patrick Allocco was snatched up after Nas faked on a New Years Eve show TMZ reports:

Promoter, Patrick Allocco, claims he was kidnapped at gunpoint by a local “concert impresario” who was FURIOUS when Nas no-showed at a heavily promoted New Year’s Eve show.

The “impresario” demanded Allocco fork over the $315k advance … or else. Allocco was eventually freed from captivity with help from the US Embassy … but he’s currently holed up in a local hotel.

While a lot remains unknown, it sounds like Nas it might all have been just a confusing scenario:

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.

How sad though huh? I hope this comes to a complete and peaceful end. The moral of the story, “Never steal from an African.” Maybe this will inspire Rick Ross to get his Western Union to Nigeria ASAP. What do you think?

Feature: Nas Says "The Internet Is Satan"; I Think It's Twitter

Written by The Urban Daily on October 24, 2011 7:20 pm

In the latest issue of XXL magazine Nas celebrates his twenty years in music. For the November 2011 cover story he is interviewed by Odd Future’sTyler The Creator and they get into lengthy dialogue about everything from liking cheese to winning a VMA.  After Tyler admits that the Internet “drives him crazy” Nas replies that the “Internet is Satan”, he doesn’t know what Tumblris and that he doesn’t look at his Twitter page.

No I never look at it. I have a team that operates that sh*t for me. They’ll send me questions, and I answer them. That’s it. I was a prank caller when I was a young kid…I look at the Internet as prank callers. You don’t know who they are. They’re having fun. Actually, I’m not mad at that…You could do some good with the Internet, of course. But it’s, like, a man with horns. Not even a man–a dark force with horns–behind the whole sh*t”

Dark force? Has Nas listened to Tyler’s debut album? Ha! Read the full interview in the November 2011 issue of XXL Magazine.
