Hi Miley,
It could mean a number of things, it depends on the context. Sometimes it means broken
" I busted my car this week".
(not very common nowadays)
Sometimes it means the police caught you doing something wrong
For example " He got busted for smoking drugs yesterday".
In your context it sounds like he meant you caught him doing something wrong.

I agree with Ruthi.
In this context "to be busted" means that someone has been caught doing something wrong. It is normally quite a gentle wrongdoing though.
For example, if my girlfriend was trying to give up chocolate on a diet and I caught her trying to eat some in secret, I would say: "busted".
I imagine that your friend B has "busted" friend A for being lazy and not replying to you?

I think that It's autotext by some reasons from website. It means not connect because this account deleted, may be.
