In an unexpected turn of events, rapper Nicki Minaj<\/a> was detained in Amsterdam while on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour<\/em>. Authorities claimed she had marijuana in her luggage<\/a>.<\/p>\n Minaj captured much of the incident on her social media platforms. She posted footage showing her being placed in a police vehicle holding cell. In an Instagram Live video, Minaj is seen conversing with a police officer who accused her of possessing drugs.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not carrying drugs,\u201d Minaj firmly stated in the video. \u201cI\u2019m not going in there; I need a lawyer present. I need a lawyer present now. Where am I going?\u201d The officer replied that she would be taken to the police station and assured her they would coordinate to ensure she got to her next show in Manchester. \u201cWhat am I doing? Oh, so I\u2019m under arrest? Under arrest for what?\u201d Minaj questioned.<\/p>\n Authorities soon demanded that she stop filming, after which she was placed in the holding cell. While details of her time at the police station remain unclear, Minaj was reportedly released from detainment. Fans confirmed on social media that she arrived in Manchester for her concert at Co-Op Live this evening.<\/p>\n Representatives for Minaj did not respond to Variety\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the incident as it unfolded. She alleged that authorities searched her luggage without consent and did not allow her to see her bags. \u201cThey\u2019re being paid big money to try to sabotage my tour because so many people are mad that it’s this successful, and they can\u2019t profit from me,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThey got caught stealing money from my travel\/jets. Got fired. Got mad. Etc.\u201d<\/p>\n Police claimed to have found marijuana in her bags, which Minaj said belonged to one of her security guards. \u201cNow they said they found weed and that another group of people have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls,\u201d Minaj explained, noting that while marijuana is legal in Amsterdam, it is illegal to transport it into or out of the Netherlands. \u201cKeep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them that those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yeah, and the pilot wants me to take my IG post down.\u201d<\/p>\n Minaj is continuing her Pink Friday 2 World Tour<\/em>, slated to run through Europe until July.<\/p>\n Like most websites, Socialite Life uses affiliate links where available, which means we earn a little commission if you click through and buy something.
