Nicki Minaj filmed herself seemingly getting arrested for allegedly ‘carrying drugs’ while traveling from Amsterdam to Manchester for her next Pink Friday 2 Tour show.
Despite vehemently denying that she was carrying any drugs, the 41-year-old rapper was told that she needed to go to the police station in footage captured during an Instagram Live.
In the recording, a man explained to her that she ‘would get a lawyer at the office’ and they would go ‘as fast as possible.’
During the Instagram Live, the Anaconda hitmaker said she was told ‘to get into this [police] van and go into the precinct with no lawyer present.’
She further alleged that someone working for airport security requested she made a ‘statement with no lawyer present’ after finding ‘pre-rolls’ in ‘bags that they were not authorized to take.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to Minaj’s representative for confirmation on if she was actually arrested, but has not heard back.
It is currently unclear if she was booked at a police station.
A spokesperson for the police in the Netherlands confirmed to NBC News that they ‘arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport because of possession of soft drugs.’
They did not identify Minaj, or anyone else by name, as the person arrested.
Before the alleged arrest, Minaj shared a series of posts on X (previously known as Twitter), about her bags getting pulled for a thorough search at the airport.
‘They’ve been trying everything they possibly can to TRY to stop this tour,’ she wrote in one tweet, before theorizing that they were trying to ‘plant things’ in her luggage.
Additionally, she shared footage on her Instagram of a man telling her that police needed to take a closer look at her luggage.
In the clip, an airline crew member told her that a ‘police officer told’ him that they had ‘to offload all the luggage and to search everything.’
‘I’m so sorry to say that,’ he continued.
She, then, asked: ‘But wasn’t that what you planned on doing from the get-go? Why didn’t you guys search it before it went on the plane?’
‘They did just a random quick check, but now they want to open it,’ he insisted.
After she asked why, he said: ‘First of all, because you filmed him… [and] … he doesn’t believe you that you don’t have more with you than you say.’

‘No, he asked me ‘Do I have any more in those purses’ and I said, ‘No,’ and I asked him where are my bags,’ the rapper said. ‘They took my bags and put them on the plane before I could know what bags are on the plane.’
The airline crew member simply said he was ‘so sorry for that.’
‘Okay, of course,’ she said before the video ended.
In Minaj’s caption, she wrote ‘they took my bags before I could see them’ then ‘put it on the plane.’
‘This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal,’ she wrote.

Minaj also tweeted that her ‘filming every single thing made’ airline employees and police ‘mad’

Minaj’s most recent tweet, at the time of publication, claimed that she was told that she had five minutes ‘to make a statement about’ her ‘security to the police precinct.’
Earlier, she had noted on X that ‘they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls.’
‘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 [Instagram] post down,’ she wrote.
In another X post, she pointed out that marijuana is legal in Amsterdam.
Minaj is is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour and, next, slated to perform in Manchester, England on Saturday.
