Update: Complex has confirmed that Joe Budden has left Everyday Struggle. "Joe Budden is not continuing as a host on Everyday Struggle in 2018," Complex told Billboard. "The show will be back in the New Year with all new episodes and guests. We wish Joe all the best and thank him for a great 2017."

Original story
While home caring for his newborn baby with girlfriend Cyn Santana, Joe Budden has been on Twitter the past two days venting his frustrations about his contract with Complex and his web series Everyday Struggle, leading many to believe that he has left the popular show. There seems to be strong evidence that Joe left the DJ Akademiks and Nadeska co-hosted series and fans are not happy about it.
After fill-in host DJ Whoo Kid tweeted that Budden will be back after taking care of his newborn, Budden retweeted him and said that the show "should stop using my 3 day old child to mask internal chaos."
He later tweeted that he cannot continue to create without "integrity" and said he was not given a proper goodbye. When a Twitter user suggested he was trolling, Joe responded that he was not.
His girlfriend Cyn Santana seemed to confirm the news on Twitter when asked if the show was over. "Joey ain’t on it... so basically yeah," she said.
Joe also retweeted fans who seemed to figure out what was going on behind-the-scenes at Complex, suggesting that he was unhappy with his contract.
Fans of the show were not happy:
Is this a method Joe is using in his contract negotiations or has he really left Everyday Struggle?
