Lil Flip doesn't seem to be taking his legal obligations too seriously, and a Louisiana judge has had enough. Reportedly, a warrant has been issued for Flip's arrest, because he missed a court hearing earlier today on weapons and drug possession charges.

The Houston rapper was held in contempt of court, but is hoping that his lawyer can get everything settled.

A source close to Flip said that he was unaware that he needed to be in court.

He was arrested last Christmas in Mansfield, LA, for speeding. Police allegedly found an AR-15 assault rifle and marijuana in the car. Flip — aka Wesley Eric Weston Jr. — has a Texas license for the gun, which he said is valid in 21 states. As for the drugs, he claims that it was actually just tobacco.

Flip has pleaded not guilty to all charges stemming from the incident.
