Patrick Allocco and his son are in limbo

The American promoter stuck in Angola with his son because Nas failed to show up for a New Year's Eve concert he was paid $300,000 for is speaking out about his predicament.

As we previously reported, 51-year old Patrick Allocco, CEO of AllGood Concerts and his 22-year old son, also named Patrick have not been allowed to leave Angola until local promoter Henrique "Riquhino" Miguel is paid back the $300,000 he fronted for the failed concert plus an additional $50,000 in expenses.

Nas's rep told TMZ that the rapper didn't travel to Angola because of a miscommunication about his travel arrangements, but according to Allocco and the Miami Herald, Nas was in Miami at a party thrown by Lebron James on New Year's Eve.

Allocco said when he landed at Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport on December 30 he found out Nas and the opening act Jemiah Jai were not coming. When Miguel was informed there would be no concert he became furious. Fearing for their safety, Allocco and his son hailed a cab to take them to the U.S. Embassy, but instead of taking them there the cab driver drove them to a parking lot where they were surrounded by two dozen gun-toting men. The men turned out to be Miguel's boyguards. They took the Allocco's to the police who interrogated them in Portuguese--which they do not speak for seven hours.

"When we first arrived at the jail for questioning, they made sure to show me where I would be staying if I couldn’t get the act or the money right away," Allocco told New Jersey.com. "It was a Third World holding cell that smelled of sweat and human body odor."

U.S. Embassy Vice Consul David Josar intervened and had the pair moved to a hotel in the capital city of Luanda, where they are holed up. Aside from battling dysentery the pair are said to be fine, but no resolution has been reached to get them home. They haven't been arrested but their passports are being held.

Alloco says Nas has sent $200,000 of the money to his attorney.

"He is supposed to send another $100,000, but now he is reneging," Allocco said. "The investigation could last forever."

Allocco's wife has spoken to representatives from the State Department and U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen’s (R-11th Dist.) office.

"I just want them home," she said.

"After we became aware last week of Mr. Allocco’s predicament in Angola, Congressman Frelinghuysen reached out to Ambassador Christopher McMullen and our office has been in regular contact with U.S. embassy staff," said Steve Wilson, a spokesman for the congressman. "We understand that Mr. Allocco and his son are safe and negotiations to allow them to return home will hopefully be concluded soon. In the meantime, we remain in touch with the Allocco family here in New Jersey."

Allocco has worked in Colombia, Trinidad and India without incident in the past. Booking shows for acts like Jermaine Jackson, James Brown and Earth Wind & Fire.

Jennifer Lopez is open to appearing on the upcoming return of "In Living Color" according to Access Hollywood. Lopez got her big break when she was a 'Fly Girl' on the groundbreaking sketch comedy series created by Keenen Ivory Wayans.

“I haven’t heard from [Keenen], but if he called me and wanted me to do something, that would be awesome,” Jennifer told Access on Sunday.

Lopez says she owes a lot to Keenan and the show that was also served as a launching pad for the careers of Jim Carrey, David Alan Grier, Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx and Damon Wayans.

“I owe Keenen a lot," Jennifer said. "From the beginning of my career, he always believed in me, he always was constantly putting in my brain, ‘You’re gonna be a star, you’re gonna be a star, do you know that?’ And he was a mentor to me so I wish him the best with that.”

"In Living Color" is set to air two new half hour episodes on Fox this Spring. If the ratings are good the show will be picked up by the network for the following season.

The show will feature an all new cast, but it's a safe bet Keenen would find a spot for Lopez in a skit if she wanted to appear.

Yo Gotti's new album Live From the Kitchen drops Tuesday (January) 10 on RCA Records. Peep it's latest leak "Go Girl" up top featuring Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean and Big K.R.I.T.

Jay-Z releases a new song to celebrate the birth of his daughter Blue Ivy. The usually very secretive Hov reveals during the song that at one point Beyonce suffered a miscarriage trying to conceive.

"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/We was afraid you'd disappear/But nah baby you magic," he raps.

Beyonce gave birth Saturday (January 7) at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

Snoop Dogg has a prescription for medical marijuana in his home state of California. Unfortunately for him that means nothing to Texas police.

TMZ is reporting that The Doggfather was arrested in Sierra Blanca over the weekend when a drug sniffing dog alerted cops to a prescription bottle on Snoop's tour bus that had a half ounce of weed in it.

After admitting that the herb belong to him, Snoop was arrested and cited for misdemeanor drug possession and released. If convicted he could face up to 180 days in jail.

As Beyonce and Jay-Z's family and celebrity friends celebrate the birth of the couple's first child, a daughter named Blue Ivy, some people are complaining about the treatment they received while trying to see their own babies at the same hospital.

Beyonce gave birth Saturday at New York City's Lenox Hill Hospital, and new father Neil Coulon of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, says Beyonce's baby security team blocked him from seeing his own premature twins several times.

"Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) and it happened once on Friday -- just because they wanted to use the hallway.” Coulon told the New York Daily News.

Beyonce and Jay reportedly shelled out $1.3 million dollars to seal off and redecorate a wing, complete with bulletproof glass and ultra-tight security measures that included guards patrolling the hallways with headsets.

Coulon says that at one point the security team cleared the entire sixth floor waiting room where his relatives were.

"They should have been more strategic about it,” he said. “These are children with problems in intensive care and you're just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology. I know they spent $1.3 million and I'm just a contractor from Bed-Stuy, but the treatment we received was not okay. My wife is just terribly upset. She had a C-section. She gave birth to twins. She is sore. Nobody needs this."

“Some people were upset,” one staffer said. “I heard a gentleman say he couldn’t go upstairs to see his baby (Saturday)."

“This is the NICU. Nobody cares if you’re a celebrity. Nobody is star-gazing. They just want to see their children,” Coulon added. "To have that circus roll into town and ruin our parade was unpleasant.”

"I heard you say you aint a b*tch 'cause you sing/You a b*tch 'cause you cling like a b*tch that's 18" - Common "Stay Schemin" remix

As we previously reported, Drake and Common are beefing and it looks like Com is not even playing around as he fires off on Drake on the remix to "Stay Schemin." It's a direct reply to Drizzy's verse on the song.

“I just ask that when you see me, you speak up n*gga that’s all/Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing,” Drake raps on the track. “It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a n*gga reached it was for the weapon, nowadays n*ggas reach just to sell their record.”

There was immediate speculation that the verse was directed at Common, who previously dissed Drake on the song "Sweet"

“He [Drake] opened his mouth and said some things, so if that’s what he want, all that subliminal [talk]…you could do that too, but say it now,” Common told Sway of MTV News and Shade 45's "Sway in the Morning" back in December when asked if "Sweet" was directed at Drake. “The verse is about me but when you hear some of the stuff on the chorus it’s like you can’t help but think about dude and I guess that’s what he felt. So at the end of day he fits in that category, he already embraced it, so wear it.”

The battle is in full swing now. Check out Common's new diss below.
