Rapper Rick Ross ends the year big. He’s being sued by the Nigerian government. Ross got paid in full to perform at a festival, in Nigeria, but cancelled.

“The rapper, Rick Ross, issued a statement cancelling his performance at the Calabar Festival, scheduled for December 28, 2011, for reasons not related to his recent surgery and seizures,” the statement read. “The performer’s cancellation was unexpected and the reasons are unknown to Cross River State since he has confirmed receipt of his entire performance fee many weeks ago.”
