Nicki Minaj’s Concert in Manchester Postponed Due to Amsterdam Arrest

Nicki Minaj’s concert in Manchester postponed due to arrest in Amsterdam

Nicki Minaj’s highly anticipated concert at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester was abruptly postponed after the American singer and rapper was arrested in Amsterdam just hours before the show. The 41-year-old artist was detained at Schiphol Airport on suspicion of possessing soft drugs, causing chaos for fans who had gathered to see her perform.

Despite the setback, Minaj eventually arrived in Manchester late Saturday night and took to social media to apologize to her fans. She expressed gratitude for their support and offered her deepest apologies for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected turn of events.

Fans who had already gathered at the venue were allowed entry, with doors opening later than scheduled. Minaj was released from custody just before 9 PM but will have to pay a fine for the alleged offense of illegally exporting soft drugs from the Netherlands.

In a live stream on Instagram from central Manchester, Minaj showed her appreciation for the fans who had gathered outside the venue. Promoters Live Nation announced that the concert would be rescheduled, with tickets remaining valid for the new date.

Minaj took to social media to share her side of the story, claiming that the police found drugs in her luggage after customs checks. She expressed frustration at the situation and highlighted the irony of being detained in a country where weed is legal.

A spokesperson for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee military police confirmed the arrest, adding to the drama surrounding Minaj’s unexpected run-in with the law. Despite the setback, fans remain hopeful for the rescheduled concert and eagerly await further updates on the new performance date.
