According to a series of social media posts shared by Niki Minaj, the rapper revealed she has been arrested by Dutch police after an altercation over her luggage.
Minaj was travelling from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to Manchester in England, where she was scheduled to perform on Saturday night at the co-op live arena in Manchester.
A spokesperson for the Dutch police said in a statement that they had arrested an American woman, 41, on suspicion of possession of small amounts of soft drugs.
In a video shared by Minaj on Saturday afternoon, a police officer is seen telling Minaj that they need to search her luggage.
“I’m so sorry to say that,” a man at the airport tells her.
“But isn’t that what you planned on doing from the get-go? Why didn’t you guys search it before it went on the plane,” she responds.
The man says they did a “random quick check” but need to open the luggage.
In subsequent posts, Minaj said she believed people were trying to “stop this tour” and were lying to her.
“They took my luggage & when I asked where it is they said it’s on the plane. It couldn’t have been, I just pulled up,” she said. “I never gave them my bags. They’re refusing to let me see my own bags.”
In another post, she wrote: “They’re being paid big money to try to sabotage my tour b/c soooooo many ppl are mad that it’s this successful & they can’t eat off me. They got caught stealing money from my travel/jets. Got fired. Got mad. Etc.”
“This is how they plant things in your luggage,” another read.
