Rapper Nicki Minaj was arrested in Amsterdam for allegedly 'carrying drugs' just hours before she was set to take to the stage at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester
Nicki Minaj has been released following her arrest in Amsterdam just hours before she was due to go on stage in Manchester.
The force added to the PA news agency that the woman will have to pay “a fine” which will be determined by the Public Prosecution Service. Minaj’s show at Co-op Live was originally set to have doors open at 6.30pm but this was changed to 7pm, and fans have since entered the venue. "Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight’s show happen, the events of today have made it impossible. We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused. More information will be available at your point of purchase."
In a post shared on X earlier today, Nicki claimed airport security "said they found weed & that another group of pp have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls". She also claimed her bags had been taken without her consent. She then claimed staff were trying to "plant things" in her luggage. The musician also shared a clip on Instagram of a man telling her police needed to take a closer look at her luggage.
