The Game has accused the valet service at a Nordstorm department store in the Westfield Topanga Mall of stealing $75,000 worth of jewelry and other goods from his friend's car on Christmas Eve. The rapper, who tweeted about the robbery early on Christmas morning, also criticized police officers on the scene for patting him down and questioning him despite being the victimized party.

To make matters worse, The Game claims that the officers explained that there was no evidence of the robbery on tape because the security camera was blocked by a palm tree, and that the police behaved in a racist manner.

Despite the hassle, it looks like The Game managed to hold on to some degree of holiday cheer. Yesterday he tweeted “Goodmorning, hope everyone enjoyed Christmas & if u have kids I hope their wishes came true & they had a blast. To me that's all its about.”

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
