Late Saturday, the police said she was released, with a fine for trying to bring light drugs out of the country.
According to Sky News, a spokesperson for Schiphol Airport stated earlier in the day that “we can confirm that a 41-year-old American woman has been arrested for possession of light drugs”.
Wrote on X myself
Minaj herself wrote about the possession of X, where she described in a long series of posts how she was interrogated and how her bags were searched after they were loaded onto her plane.
Nicki Minaj was on her way to the UK where she is scheduled to perform in Manchester on Saturday night. Now it is clear that the concert will not take place. According to the organizers, the concert has been postponed, but not cancelled.
“This is what it looks like when people get paid a lot to try to sabotage a tour when all other means have failed,” Minaj wrote on Instagram.
Will perform in Stockholm
The artist kicked off the European leg of her Pink Friday 2 world tour in Amsterdam on Thursday, a gig added to the regular schedule. The European leg was supposed to begin in Manchester, the first of many tour stops in the UK.
On June 12, she will appear at the Tele2 arena in Stockholm.
