Nicki Minaj was released from custody Saturday hours after she was arrested by police in the Netherlands on suspicion of exporting soft drugs, authorities said. The rapper was fined and allowed to “continue her journey,” police said in a translated post on X just before 4 p.m. ET. Minaj, 41, was traveling to Manchester, England, from Amsterdam for a concert on her “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” when she was arrested.
She confirmed she'd still be performing the second show in Manchester on Thursday, and that she will still go on in Birmingham on Sunday. 'I’ll find a way to not only make up the date with the performance but I’m going to create an added bonus for everyone that had a tkt for this show. Promise,' Minaj said. Earlier on Saturday, Minaj had shared numerous posts on social media detailing the incident.
