Rapper Joe Budden is a wanted man after a judge in New York City issued a warrant for his arrest following a missed court date on Thursday (28May15).
The hip-hop star was due to appear in court in the Big Apple for a hearing as part of a case stemming from an alleged assault on his ex-girlfriend, but Budden, 34, failed to show up, according to TMZ.com.
The website reports the judge overseeing the case issued a warrant
for his arrest.
The incident comes just months after a judge previously chastised
the star for turning up late for a hearing in December (14).
