American rapper Nicki Minaj found herself in a legal predicament during her European tour when she was arrested at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport for carrying drugs, specifically pre-rolled joints. The incident occurred just hours before she was scheduled to perform in Manchester.
According to reports from various sources, including The Independent and BBC News, Minaj had been filming her encounter with the Dutch border police when they discovered the drugs in her luggage. She was taken into custody for questioning and later released on bail while investigations continued.
Minaj took to social media to share her side of the story, expressing concern over missing her Manchester show due to the delay caused by the arrest. She also claimed that her bags had been taken without her consent before she could see them, suggesting that there may have been an attempt to sabotage her tour.
The Manchester police conducted a search at the venue in response to Minaj's arrest, causing a delay in the concert and raising concerns about its cancellation. The rapper's representatives were contacted for comment by various media outlets but had not yet responded at the time of writing.
It is important to note that while marijuana is decriminalized in designated coffeeshops in Amsterdam, it remains illegal to possess and distribute in Manchester. Minaj's arrest highlights the importance of adhering to local laws and regulations when traveling with personal belongings.
