Global superstar Nicki Minaj has become a hot topic online after being arrested in Amsterdam for allegedly carrying drugs.
Videos circulating on social media show Nicki Minaj being taken into custody by Amsterdam police after marijuana was reportedly found in one of her bags. In response, Nicki Minaj went live on Instagram to inform her fans about the arrest. She also updated her followers via her verified account on the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
Nicki Minaj claimed during her Instagram live that the marijuana pre-rolls found in her possession actually belonged to her security personnel. Additionally, she took to her Instagram page to accuse unnamed individuals of attempting to sabotage her tour, suggesting that her arrest at the airport was part of a larger scheme against her.
The incident has sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and the public, with many expressing their support for the artist while others await further details on the situation.
Nicki Minaj wrote; “they’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show. They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. 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.”

It’s a 45 min to an hour flight.
So they’re prob trying to stall for about 4 hours.

😩 now 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 post down.

adesope_shopsydoo: Security , management and team MUST always remember their responsibilities to protect the artist at all cost and NOT do anything that could put the artists business in jeopardy….. this is a global icon and cause she is a black star , enemies will be looking for any small thing to put dirt on her name and stop the shine …
shonna__j: Why are yall not understanding that you can’t transport drugs from country to country..
ayoshonaiya: Weed? Amsterdam? So what’s the problem pls? 🤷🏾♂️
omarihardy: Not gonna lie, I was pretty impressed with the police in this video. If this were America, they would have bodyslammed and chokeholded and tased this lady 6 ways to Sunday just for asking questions. These dudes stayed calmed, explained the situation, and let her keep her phone in the police car. Never seen that happen in America. Europe is just different.
imericad_’: Yes, marijuana is legal there; HOWEVER, it is not legal to import or export AND they still have a limit on the amount you can have in your possession while there. Read up on laws beginning entering ppl countries! Thought we learned from BG 🙄🤣🤣.
delisopretty: She blamed security QUICK 😂😂😂.
phillyswain’: The setup is real , they targeting her.
