Say it aint so, Joe. The drama between Joe Budden and his former boo thang continues to get worst for the New Jersey rapper. Earlier today, the New York Police Department announced via their Twitter account Budden is wanted on robbery charges. According to the post, the charges stem from an incident where the reality show participant took the cell phone of a 25-year-old female on August 18, 2014.

Budden has vehemently denied the allegations he put hands on the woman.
The NYPD is asking for the public to call their tip line.
