Rapper Nicki Minaj was recently detained in Amsterdam, ironically for having marijuana in her luggage at Schiphol Airport. The five-hour incident was partially live-streamed. She was fined an undisclosed amount.
The crime was ‘possession of soft drugs, which is prohibited.’
The Dutch officer stated to Minaj on video that she was arrested “because you’re carrying drugs.”Â
“After consultation with the Public Prosecution Service, the suspect was fined and can continue her journey,” Dutch police posted on X.
The incident led Minaj to postpone her Manchester, England concert.
 “We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused.” the venue @TheCoopLive posted on X.
Minaj posted on X that Dutch authorities needed her consent to investigate her luggage.
“Now they said they found weed & another group of people have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. Keep in mind they took my bags without my consent. My security has already advised them that those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yeah, & the pilot wants me to take my IG post down.”
