Nicki Minaj’s return to Amsterdam canceled after her arrest

Dutch police say Nicki Minaj’s race played no role in her drug arrest last weekend and that it was “annoying that she pulled that card.”

The American rapper was arrested last weekend at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and fined after police said they found “dozens of joints in her luggage”.

She said her treatment had been “just disgusting”, which she said was partly because she was from “a different confident race”.

Meanwhile, his last concert in the city was canceled “due to the events of the past week”, his organizer said.

She was arrested on Saturday by military police in Amsterdam, where she had started her European tour, before being fined and released.

“Not being able to go to Manchester, I don’t know when was the last time I felt this low, you know?” she told fans on live-streaming platform Stationhead earlier this week.

“And not only that, but just knowing that something is being done to you on purpose. You’re another confident breed, you know?

“But I’m not going to get into it and tell you about the joy they had there, even while I was there. But you know what? There was a lady there – all the others were men – and I could tell he had a heart.

“But the treatment was just disgusting. And I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”

In response, the spokesperson for the Dutch military police told broadcaster NOS: “It’s annoying if she experienced things this way.

“We arrested her after finding dozens of joints in her luggage. The lady was released four hours after her arrest in agreement with the public prosecutor and after paying a fine.

“I think everything went really well. It’s annoying that she pulled that card.”

A police spokesperson told BBC News: “We are just doing our job and the protocol is to search luggage and arrest a person when we find drugs.

“The arrest took place around 5:30 p.m., the release around 9:30 p.m. We defend a professional organization that treats everyone equally, no matter what.”

Minaj was fined 350 euros (£300, $380), they said, adding: “It is illegal to take drugs to another country.”

At the time, Dutch prosecutors told local media she was carrying between 30 and 100 grams of cannabis, but Minaj claimed “the pre-rolls” belonged to her security guard.

Her release did not arrive in time for her to perform at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday, where around 20,000 fans were waiting.

This show has been postponed to Monday June 3.

His tour included two dates in Manchester, with the other show going ahead as planned on Thursday May 30.

Since leaving the Netherlands she has also performed in Birmingham, London and Glasgow.

She was due to return to Amsterdam on Sunday June 2, but promoter Mojo said that would no longer happen.

The police spokesperson said the case was closed and no further action would be taken against her if she returned to the country.
