He faces continued legal issues after failure to attend a lawsuit on Tuesday afternoon led to an arrest warrant being issued by a Los Angeles judge.

But Tyga has reportedly faced further backlash for his no-show by furious members of girlfriend Kylie Jenner’s immediate family.

Tyga's legal issues stem from his failure to pay a $480,000 judgement against him for back rent and damage at a Malibu home he rented in 2011.

The rapper's landlord, Gholamreza Rezai, went to court in 2012 claiming that Tyga missed a $16,000 monthly rent payment, skipped out on his lease and left the home in need of major repairs.

The Grammy-nominated California rapper also allegedly installed a dance pole in the middle of the master bedroom without permission.

Tyga claimed poverty, refusing to pay the settlement ordered by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Nancy Newman.

He was scheduled to be questioned under oath about his finances.

Newman signed a bench warrant, which is typically issued in the case of a failure to appear for trial and could lead to Tyga being jailed, with bail set at $10,000.
