LOADING ERROR LOADING Nicki Minaj has been freed after being detained in Amsterdam for allegedly carrying marijuana. The “Anaconda” rapper shared multiple videos Saturday from Schiphol Airport, in which authorities could be heard saying that she was under arrest. The Grammy nominee, who is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour , reportedly postponed a U.
K. tour date this weekend as a result. The first recording, shared on Instagram, was filmed from inside her minivan.
The clip began with Minaj stating , “Tell me again,” before an official said, “Police officer told me we have to offload all the luggage and search everything.” Advertisement When she asked why her bags weren’t searched before the airport loaded them on her plane, the official said it was a “random” check. In her second video — which has been reshared on X, formerly Twitter — officers can be seen apparently confirming her arrest.
“We have to go to the police station,” an officer said in the clip. The authorities could be heard ordering her to stop filming and enter a police van, spurring Minaj to explain that she’s waiting for her lawyer — which one officer said she can do from the precinct. The footage ends with Minaj acquiescing and entering their vehicle.
A spokesperson for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee military police has since told TMZ that Minaj was arrested for possession of “soft drugs.” She later confirmed on X that she was traveling with prerolled joints. Nick.
