TMZ reports that there has now been a warrant issued for his arrest. The hearing that was supposed to happen last Thursday didn't as Budden bailed out, posting Instagram photos of himself doing other things besides going to court.

So far, no comments have been made about the case from Budden or his lawyer. Besides his legal issues, Budden has some drama going on with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Kaylin Garcia. MStars News has learned that the couple are trying to work out their issues on the new cast of VH1's Couples Therapy.

Crazy that Budden has his own issues with alleged domestic violence. Last time we checked the reality star and rapper was bragging about how Ray Rice cheated on his girl, Janay Palmer with Teyana Taylor.

"It may be hearsay, but if the beef between Ray Rice and his wife was over the woman that some are saying?!?! Then sh*t ... smh. If ya'll know who I'm referring to, then that sh*t is crazy to me," later claiming that the woman he was describing was Taylor.

No matter what, domestic violence is never the solution to issues. If you know someone in trouble, or if you're in trouble, call the Domestic Violence Hotline.
