Rapper Nas
Promoter Can't Sue Me For Kidnapping ...
It's His Own Fault!

Nas is asking a judge to throw out a concert promoter's $10 million lawsuit -- saying the man has only himself to blame for being kidnapped in Angola and held nearly two months ... and besides, they settled this already.

TMZ broke the story ... Patrick Allocco alleged the rapper took $300k for a New Year's Eve concert in the African nation ... then no-showed. Allocco says Angolan promoters held him for ransom for 50 days beginning in December 2011 ... beating and threatening him at gunpoint until they got their money back.

Nas filed court docs Monday saying they settled the matter during the promoter's captivity, which included an agreement that if Nas repaid the advance -- which the rapper eventually did -- Allocco wouldn't sue.

What's more, Nas says Allocco knew what he was getting into ... he flew to Angola to be "human security" for the concert deal before the rapper even signed on.

As for why he no-showed in the first place ... Nas says the promoter breached their original contract by failing to provide enough security, fumbling their plane tickets and paying the $300K advance late.

Nas' Attorney Files Motion to Have $10 Million Lawsuit Thrown Out

A lawyer for Nas wants the $10 million lawsuit brought against the rapper thrown out. On Monday (April 29), attorney Jonathan Davis filed a response to promoter Patrick Allocco's claims that Nas is financially responsible for a botched New Year's Eve show in early 2012, which resulted in an alleged kidnapping.

Allocco and his son were captured and detained in Angola for 49 days after the Queens MC pulled out of the gig at the last minute. The Allgood Entertainment CEO blames Nas for the calamity, but Davis argues that Allocco's faulty business moves are the real issue.

According to Davis, Nas nixed the performance because Allocco didn't pay up on time or make proper arrangements for his entry into the African country. Furthermore, he is asking the judge to dismiss the suit because Allocco promised not to take legal action once Nas returned the $300,000 he was paid for the show.

Aside from losing money, Allocco claims the ordeal caused his home to go into foreclosure. His attorney has yet to file a rebuttal to Davis' motion.

This is an old story though, what's new is that Nas lawyer filed a motion to have it tossed out.

This story is over a year old.

Only new part is that the lawyers are aiming to throw it in the bushes cause of how fraudulent the CaC promoter was
