Rapper-turned-television & radio personality Joe Budden has been garnering a lot of media attention as of late for all the wrong reasons.

First, his former fiancee – fellow ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star Cyn Santana – had long been rumored to have suffered physical abuse at the hands of the emcee.  Talk around the predicament picked up again when leaked audio from a phone conversation between the two saw her assert he ‘chased and dragged her.’
