Nicki Minaj has been released from police custody after she was detained at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
In a tweet, the Dutch Police stated, “We have just released a 41-year-old American woman whom we arrested this afternoon at Schiphol on suspicion of exporting soft drugs.” “The suspect was fined and can continue her journey.”
Nicki was on her way out of Amsterdam to fly to her Manchester show for a concert Saturday evening but was stopped.
In the footage, Nicki is seen adamantly requesting legal representation as she adamantly declines to enter the police transport vehicle. When the officers notify the rapper of her arrest, Nicki inquires ‘on what grounds,’ prompting the officer to respond.
“Because you’re carrying drugs,” the officer accused, to which Nicki replied, “I’m not carrying drugs.” I’m not carrying drugs. I am not going in there. I need a lawyer present. “No, I need a lawyer present now,” Nicki insisted. The officer then informed her, “You have to go to the police station… you are under arrest.”
Hours ago, Nicki Minaj had to undergo a thorough luggage inspection after authorities reportedly discovered something fishy in her purse. In a video shared by the rapper, she was seen being approached by airport officials, who clarified the reason behind the additional scrutiny of her possessions.
Nicki Minaj is claiming that someone is trying to sabotage her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
She was originally set to hit the stage at the Co-op Live arena at 8:00 PM BST. However, the doors to the concert opened about half an hour late on Saturday. By 8:30 PM, with a crowd of thousands inside, it was uncertain if the show would proceed as planned.
Despite the delay, the concert is scheduled go on. A helicopter is reportedly on standby at Manchester Airport to transport Nicki to the venue once she arrive.
In the Netherlands, it is technically illegal to have, sell, or make drugs. Nevertheless, the country follows a policy of tolerance towards the possession or sale of small quantities of certain substances.
