Nicki Minaj was arrested while in Amsterdam on Saturday, May 25. But there's no need to panic, she was released a few hours later—giving her Barbz an emotional outburst that was witnessed on social media.
Minaj is currently on her international leg Pink Friday 2 Tour. Everything was going swimmingly with sold out shows and all, and then Amsterdam decided to take her travels for a loop. Nicki was on her way to the UK to perform, but authorities at the airport wanted to do a deep search of her luggage and allegedly found drugs.
Per 2024 protocol, Nicki Minaj posted Ops requesting the search on her Twitter.
And ish went left after that.
References TMZ:
The cops ask Nicki to stop filming them and get into their police vehicle… while Minaj says she wants to talk to her lawyer and refuses to turn off the camera. Nicki eventually gets into the police van of her own volition – without handcuffs as far as we can tell.
Robert CapelA spokesman for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee military police confirmed to TMZ that they had arrested an American woman for possession of “soft drugs” — like marijuana, for example — and described a similar scenario to Minaj's, but declined to identify her by name or type alleged drugs.
Minaj was released and reportedly fined €350 and went to her Manchester show schedule for Saturday night.
Unfortunately for her fans in Manchester, it looks like the show is a wash.
