Authorities in Amsterdam arrested rapper Nicki Minaj on Saturday after she insisted she not carry drugs.
“USA Today” reported that the Trinidad-born rapper was participating in the “Pink Friday 2” world tour and was on his way to Manchester, England when the incident occurred.
Minaj live-streamed the entire incident on her Instagram Live page. In the video, the rap star gets into an argument with Amsterdam police over her arrest, where they say she was detained for possessing drugs.
Mina disputed the officer’s statement and said she would not have entered the vehicle.
“I wouldn’t have gone in without my lawyer here,” Mina countered. The officer responded, “We’ll take you to the next show.”
An angry Mina then retorted: “Are you talking about my show? So what?”

According to USA Today , Minaj complained earlier Saturday that Amsterdam airport officials were trying to sabotage her trip.
The rapper also went on a rant about the incident. She first claimed she was only carrying marijuana.
Now they say they found weed and another group has to come here and weigh the front roll. Keep in mind they took my luggage without consent. My security has told them those front patches belong to him. Oh yeah the pilot wants me to delete my ig posts.

Mina then complained that her flight was delayed for at least two hours and possibly longer.
My plane was scheduled to take off 2 hours ago.

Flight time is 45 minutes to 1 hour.
So they’ll probably try to stall for about 4 hours.
