NYPD Looking For Rapper Joe Budden [Photo]

Rapper Joe Budden is wanted by New York police. NYPDNews posted Joe’s mugshot stating that he’s wanted for stealing a 25-year old woman’s cell phone. Earlier in the week, an ex-girlfriend accused Budden of domestic violence.

Per TMZ

We’re told Budden saw pics of his GF with some men and flipped out. Sources connected with the woman tell us … Budden found her at an NYC restaurant, dragged her out to his car and then allegedly choked her and slammed her head into the dash.  

The sources say he then drove them to his New Jersey home where cops say the beating continued.

The assumption would be the two situations are related but that’s unclear. Joe did take to social media to semi-defend himself against the domestic violence accusations and go off on @NYPDNews for saying he’s a wanted man and releasing his mugshot.

And as for NYPD News:
