Nicki Minaj was apparently arrested by police in the Netherlands for an incident involving her luggage, based on the rapper's social media posts. “We can confirm that we have arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport because of possession of soft drugs," a spokesperson for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee told NBC News May 25. In a video the “Super Bass” rapper shared on Instagram Saturday, Minaj, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, appeared to be having a conversation with a man at the airport who said his team needed to do a “random quick check” on her bags.
In her caption, Minaj claimed that police have been “trying to stop me from coming to every show,” alleging that people are “paid big money to try and sabotage a tour after all else failed.” Minaj was traveling to Manchester, England, from Amsterdam, Netherlands, for her “Pink Friday 2 World Tour.” The “Barbie World” rapper is scheduled to perform at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on Saturday.
In additional posts she shared online, Minaj said Saturday that she was being told that “weed” was found in her bags. “Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls,” she wrote. “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.” On X, Minaj again said Saturday that she believes people are tryin.
