Maura Johnston, editor at Idolator, let me know that rumors regarding the demise of Vibe Vixen were in play.

A ProHipHop contact at Vibe has confirmed that Vibe Vixen is no more and the staff has been laid off.

My condolences to all involved.

In related news, earlier this month Vibe Media Group appointed Steve Aaron the "new chief executive".

Best of luck in your new position, Mr. Aaron.

Update:
Here’s a brief Mediaweek report.
