2011 is coming to an end! Well, as we are just a hop, skip and an eggnog away from putting on silly hats, drinking champagne, and kissing random people as we bid goodbye to the year 2011! Sometimes, it’s not easy to look back. The list of people we lost in 2011 is one of those occasions. Good friends we’ve lost and good friends we’ve found along our way. Even though we are all eager to enter 2012 with the hope and aspiration that things will be much better than the years before.

Jay-Z’s legal troubles continue, as the Brooklyn emcee has been sued by the Workers Compensation Board of New York. The suit alleges that Jay failed to pay worker’s compensation insurance for three months in 2009. The insurance, which was supposed to cover domestic employees in the emcee’s home, was allegedly properly paid after the three months.

The beef between 50 Cent and T.I which was held on Twitter has come to an end. Last month, Twitter played the battleground to yet another beef involving 50 Cent when the Queens rapper said that T.I. should have let his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle take the rap for their 2010 drug charges. Now, Fiddy says that the two rappers have officially squashed their feud. According to a recent interview with Vibe, Fif and Tip quelled their Twitter feud with a phone call. 50 said that although things were pretty heated between him and the King of the South, he did make sure that there were no hard feelings between the two artists.
