Azealia Banks lashes out while leaving court after failing to prove she’s finished anger management

Short-fused rapper Azealia Banks failed to show proof she finished 6 hours of anger management over the past year, dooming her opportunity to get her club bouncer boob-biting case reduced to a violation Thursday.

The foul-mouthed “212” performer brought paperwork that said she was 2 hours shy of the requirement of her Manhattan Criminal Court plea deal, struck 1 year ago. That led prosecutors to object to her misdemeanor being dismissed in favor of a violation.

Judge Angela Badamo said Banks has to come back April 3 for prosecutors to sort out the discrepancy. Banks’ lawyer, Jess Berkowitz, said he believed she actually was in compliance.

“I will allow them [the DA] the time to make the confirmation, whether it be over 2 hours or the substance of the program.” Badamo said.

Banks’ infamous temper flared as she left the courthouse. She insulted reporters and photographers following her to the street.

“Shut the ---- up!” she barked at one scribe, while smiling. “Must suck to have a job where no one wants to talk to you.”

“Move, lady. Move!” she howled at a photographer.

She repeatedly told one female photographer, “You should condition your hair.”

Banks was busted in December 2015 on a third-degree assault charge for chomping on the breast of a security guard at the Up&Down club after she got kicked out.
