Azealia Banks can breathe a little easier after being cleared on charges that stemmed from an altercation between her and a bouncer in L.A. back in October.
The 24-year-old raptress got into a nasty altercation with a bouncer at Break Room 86 that was all caught on video surveillance. In the video, you can see Azealia tussling with the bouncer, but there’s no audio.
According to reports, the L.A. City Attorney decided NOT to press charges since it’s unclear who was the aggressor during the scuffle. Since the bouncer didn’t suffer any injuries, the L.A. City Attorney said it would be hard to prosecute, so the case was thrown out.
While she’s in the clear for this case, the “Yung Rapunxel” appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday for another.
You’ll recall, the “212” rapper was arrested back in December for allegedly spitting on and BITING a female security guard at nightclub Up & Down in NYC. She got into a verbal altercation with the guard that resulted in her being thrown out.
Azealia went before Judge Laurie Peterson to face assault, attempted assault, disorderly conduct and harassment charges.
According to the NY Daily News, prosecutors recommended she do anger management if she were to plead to the top count against her, but the case was adjourned for her attorney to file motions on her behalf. She’s due back in court March 29th.
As she left the court building, she and her crew reportedly pushed and cursed at photographers. She even posted a picture of a reported on Twitter:
