Nicki Minaj was in Amsterdam after playing a show at Ziggo’s Dome on Thursday, and was on her way to Manchester, England, for the next stop in her Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
Rapper Nicki Minaj was briefly arrested and then fined at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Saturday on allegations that officials found “soft drugs” in her luggage, according to Dutch authorities.
The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, which is the Dutch national police agency, posted to social media Saturday night that a 41-year-old American woman who was arrested on suspicion of exporting soft drugs was fined and released from custody after authorities consulted with local prosecutors. The amount of the fine was not provided.
While Dutch police did not name Minaj as the suspect in question, the rapper posted video to social media of the ordeal. In the video, she explains that police told her that officers had allegedly found marijuana in her bags, and that it would have to be weighed.
