Nicki Minaj has been arrested at the Netherlands airport hours before her concert.
The rapper was scheduled to perform at the Co-Op Live in Manchester.
The 41-year-old was detained at the airport on possession of soft drugs.
Nicki posted a series of messages on X – including which wrote: “they said they found weed.”
She also said: “they took my bags without consent,” continuing to claim “they’re trying to keep me from MANCHESTER”.
The rapper also wrote: “This is Amsterdam btw, where weed is legal.”
“It’s a 45 minute to an hour flight. So they’re probably trying to stall for about 4 hours.”
😩 now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down.

“Now they said I have to go 5 mins away to make a statement about my security to the police precinct,” she added.
Robert van Kapel, a spokesman for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, told NBC News: “We can confirm that we have arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport because of possession of soft drugs.”
It is unclear if Minaj’s show at Co-op Live has been affected.
Nicki is due to perform at the number of venues in the coming days as part of her Pink Friday World Tour.
