Joe Budden may splash his personal business all over the internet, but this is something he probably hoped would be kept quiet. A warrant has been issued for the New Jersey resident's arrest for failing to pay almost $13,000 in child support payments. Hudson County officials are currently looking for the deadbeat dad around the Jersey City area.

According to NJ.com, Budden balked on $12,983 and failed to appear at a hearing for the case. Hudson County officials are looking for the rapper during their annual sweep for deadbeat dads, acting on a warrant that was issued earlier this May. This isn't the first time that the "Pump It Up" emcee has been in trouble for dodging child support payments, having been previously arrested for holding out on child support payments back in August 2009.

Though his personal life may be in turmoil, Budden is currently prepping the release of his upcoming street LP 'Mood Muzik 4: A Turn 4 The Worst.' The offering, which features guest appearances from Styles P, Pusha T, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks and more, is set for release October 26.

You guys are being a bunch of judgemental @ssholes. Do you actually know this guy? Because I know him personally- I've also met his adorable little boy and the child's mother. By all accounts, he's a really nice guy. I don't care to know the details of the charge in question, not do I that it's reflective of him on a personal level, but I know for a fact that he's NOT a "deadbeat dad"- he really loves his son. This article is nothing but sensationalist garbage.

In my last post, I meant to say "nor do I think that it's reflective of him on a personal level". It certainly isn't.....

You would think the system would have gotten a little smarter with child support payments. Why haven't they passed a law for the child support to be automaticly garnished from their wages? It could be just like our taxes, social security etc.

THERE IS NO REASON HE SHOULD PAY CHILD SUPPORT OR TAXES OF ANY KIND..

ARTICLE 3 PARAGRAPH 9 & 10 OF THE N.A.A.C.P. GUIDE TO PAY TAXES AND OTHER FEES... SIMPLY STATES.

" ANY PERSON, OF ANY COLOR, OTHER THAN WHITE,
HAS NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER, TO PAY ANY TAX,
AND OR CHILD SUPPORT.
WE ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO AVOID PAYING SUCH FOOLISH & ANTI BLACK SERVICES.
WE MUST TRY TO, BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE,
DRAIN ALL WORKING MEN AND WOMEN
OF THE MONIES THEY'VE EARN AND WORKED FOR,SO THEY CAN SUPPORT OUR LIFE STYLES WHICH WE ARE ENTITLED."
FURTHERMORE, WE MUST AND SHOULD, TRY WE ALL WE HAVE TO REMAIN ON ALL GOV'T PROGRAMS AND BE SUPPORTED IN OUR EFFORTS TO BILK ALL AMERICANS OUT OF ANY MONEY THEY HAVE.
SOOOOO....THIS LOW LIFE THUG WANNA BE,
MUST HAVE MEMORIZED THAT MANUAL

Not true, we don't do this on purpose. When having children it's BOTH parents responsibility to provide for the child. Unfortunately the women is the one who has to bare all the responsibility if the relationship doesn't work. If you don't want to pay child support, then do what is necessary to stay in the home, support YOUR CHILD and maybe that will keep your ass out the court system!

A worthless piece of no good dog s--t. Going around being unresponsable and expects everything to evolve around him. You made them now it's your obligation as a man to make sure they are taking care of BY YOU scumb bag
