On a recent trip to Amsterdam, renowned rapper Nicki Minaj found herself in a situation that no celebrity desires - she was arrested. The news of her arrest sent shockwaves through the music industry and left fans wondering what could have led to such a drastic turn of events.
Details surrounding the arrest are still scarce, but reports suggest that Minaj was taken into custody for an alleged altercation with a local resident. It is unclear what sparked the confrontation or how it escalated to the point of legal intervention. However, one thing is certain - Minaj's reputation has taken a hit as a result of this incident.
Eventually, Minaj – whose legal name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty – got into the official vehicle and became concerned about making her upcoming show in Manchester, England.
The official is heard telling the "Super Bass" singer that he would "try to get [her] there" as soon as possible. Nicki is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour and it is unclear if she was booked at an Amsterdam Police Station.
"Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight’s show happen, the events of today have made it impossible," a spokesperson for the venue, Co-Op Live, said in a statement. "We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused."
While the new date for the concert has yet to be announced, the spokesperson said all the tickets are valid for the rescheduled performance. Minaj's next tour stop is Sunday in Birmingham, England. Other performances are scheduled through July 14.
Minaj was in Amsterdam where she played a show at Ziggo's Dome on Thursday. She was on her way to Manchester, England, for another show that was slated to take place Saturday night as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour when the arrest occurred. The Manchester venue where Minaj was slated to perform, Co-op Live, announced that Saturday's show was postponed as a result.
"Despite Nikki's best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight's show happen, the events of today have made it impossible," the Co-op wrote in a social media post.
In a series of posts to X, Minaj claimed that the arrest was an attempt to "sabotage my tour."
"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," she said.
