Could Nas be hiding from all of Croatia?

Ten days ago, Nerys Hucker emailed us in response to the story about Nas insisting on a police escort through the mean streets of Birmingham. And, erm, we put the email into a pile of things to respond to and forgot.

However, belatedly, we can bring you Nerys' theory: Seeing as Nas pulled out of going to Croatia, because it was too dangerous, could he be afraid of bumping into Balkans?

On the other hand, a man who thinks Croatia is too dangerous might be nervous about going to Birmingham for its own sake. After all, it's the only city in England to have shut itself down for the night because of fear of... erm, something or other.
