Nicki Minaj Detained In Amsterdam For Carrying ‘Soft Drugs’

Nicki Minaj, the renowned rapper, was embroiled in a legal predicament while traveling through the Netherlands. Dutch police reported that she was arrested on suspicion of exporting soft drugs, but was subsequently fined and allowed to continue her journey.

According to the Dutch authorities, the 41-year-old pop singer, believed to be Minaj, was subsequently released after the incident. The authorities confirmed the arrest and the alleged involvement of “soft drugs,” but provided no further details regarding the outcome or the potential penalties imposed on the artist.

The renowned American rapper and songwriter were reportedly charged with substantial fines before the event was officially cancelled. During a pre-concert live stream, the Pink Friday performer was approached by police who requested her to halt the show and cooperate with the investigation. “Following consultation with the Public Prosecution Service, the suspect was fined and allowed to continue her journey,” the authorities confirmed on X. However, the specific amount of the fine was not disclosed.

Unfortunately, the incident resulted in Minaj’s inability to attend her scheduled concert in Manchester on Saturday. Approximately 20,000 fans, including Imogen Pope, an 18-year-old from Newton-le-Wilows in Merseyside, were left waiting in the arena, with one fan describing themselves as “pretty livid” at the postponement.

Ahead of her arrest, Minaj was observed capturing multiple snapshots of the incident that occurred at the airport, later sharing them in bits and pieces on her social media platforms. When the authorities requested her cooperation while inspecting her bag, the 41-year-old artist responded, “But isn’t that what you planned on doing from the start? Why didn’t you search it before it went on the plane?” She further claimed that they were deliberately attempting to sabotage her tour, accusing them of lying and stating, “They’re being paid big money to try to stop my tour because so many people are upset that it’s this successful, and they can’t profit from it. They got caught stealing money from my travel and jets. Got fired. Got mad. Etc.”
