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 six hours of anger management over the past year, dooming her opportunity to get her club bouncer boob-biting case reduced to a violation on Thursday.

The foul-mouthed "212" performer brought paperwork that said she was two hours shy of the requirement of her Manhattan Criminal Court plea deal, struck one 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 two hours or the substance of the program." Badamo said.

Azealia Banks starts anger management in assault case plea deal

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

"Shut the f _ k 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 Up&Down on W. 14th St. after she got kicked out.
