Nas Rips & Runs in Hungary?

This week's JumpOff.TV: Hip Hop News Cast reminded me that hip hop fans in Hungary are claiming Nas jacked the loot from a recent show there and then fled the scene.

Thanks to Akucs Attila who first filled me in and sent along this statement which also appears on discussion boards:

It was an ultra-shaft. Nas was here. He didn't do the show. I still don't know exactly what happened because so many rough things happened that i don't know how to put together. They were really rat-style worms. Stealing, cheating, disrespectful scumbags. They put their 2 millon forints and vanished with it...NAS and his crew tried to run away with the money when everybody and everything was ready. THEY TRIED TO GET AWAY IN SECRET THROUGH THE BACK DOOR WITH THEIR STUFF. Even the technician took OTHERS bags and said nothing about they won't come back. OK, they don't answer the phone, don't open the doors, but they are still inside.

All of them (except Chris Webber) was a f*ckin egoist dirty rat...

Nas was my favourite artist, his lyrics are phenomenal, but now i know, they are f*cking lies. f*cking disrespectful bumptious worm. I won't forget this.
"actin like u tryin to get kick knowledge" Oh, and Kelis had yesterday a concert in Hungary too. She did it... it started 3:00 am... what more... it finished 4:00 am... i don't say anything :(

If true, this sounds like bad news for Hungarian fans and apparently there were other cancellations.  That's especially sad because there are a lot of hardcore hip hop fans there without the disposable income or opportunities for live shows that we take for granted in the States.  And even for those in the upper classes, getting ripped off by Nas would be an unpleasant experience.
