Azealia Banks mistakenly believed she had a court appearance on March 8th instead of March 6th.

She was in France for Fashion week due to meetings and other social gatherings and was not able to arrange her flight in time to appear today," Vafa wrote in an email. "She apologizes and will apologize in person to the Court for missing her scheduled hearing. In addition, she attempted to appear via a New York Attorney and through a close family member. Ms. Banks will go to the department to remedy the situation as soon as possible. Again, she apologizes for the inconvenience that may have caused the Department.
