Azealia in court is all the rage

- Noah Goldberg and Shayna Jacobs

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 assault case reduced to a violation on Thursday.

Banks (left) was busted in December 2015 on a third-degree assault charge for chomping on the breast of a security guard at Up&Down club on W. 14th St. after she got kicked out.

She brought paperwork that said she was two hours shy of the requiremen­t of her Manhattan court plea deal, struck a year ago. That led prosecutor­s to object to her misdemeano­r being dismissed in favor of a violation. Banks has to come back April 3 for prosecutor­s to sort out the discrepanc­y.

Her infamous temper flared as she left the courthouse — she insulted reporters and photograph­ers following her to the street.
