In a shocking turn of events, Nicki Minaj was apprehended by the Dutch police just hours before she was scheduled to fly to the UK for a concert.
Following an unanticipated development in Amsterdam, Nicki Minaj’s ardent fanbase, the Barbz, demonstrated how far they will go to support their queen.
The streets of England were alive with anticipation on an otherwise typical evening when Nicki Minaj arrived at her hotel after being detained for hours in police custody.
The evening took a shocking turn when news broke that the iconic rapper had been apprehended at the airport. With few initial details surrounding the arrest, Nicki Minaj took matters into her own hands, recording her own arrest to fill in the gaps.
As per reports, the ‘Anaconda’ rapper was arrested while traveling to Manchester for a scheduled performance on suspicion of having marijuana in her personal belongings.
Through several social media posts, the rapper, who is currently on her “Pink Friday 2” World Tour, denied breaking any laws. Minaj looked composed and cooperative in videos posted online when interacting with local authorities.
She wrote that “they found weed,” and her security has “already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him.” Nicki Minaj also claimed that her bags had been taken by “customs,” with someone who looked like he worked for Schiphol Airport. She said that the fact that she filmed security checks prompted her luggage to be searched again.
After hours of interrogation, she was finally released back to her hotel.
Emotions ran high as hundreds of devoted fans gathered in a spontaneous vigil outside Nicki’s hotel, their unwavering support transforming the sidewalk into a powerful demonstration. Chanting and singing Nicki’s hits, they held up posters and glow sticks, their spirit unyielding in the face of adversity.
“Nicki’s free! “Nicki’s free!” they exclaimed simultaneously, sending reverberations through the nighttime air in Amsterdam.
The scene demonstrated the Barbz’s unwavering love for the “Queen” rapper and their unity.
Never one to disappoint, Nicki proved to be the queen of surprises once again. Shortly after her release, she waved to the crowd below from her hotel balcony. The Barbz went wild with applause. Touched by the outpouring of love, Nicki blew kisses and thanked everyone for their steadfast support.
Although marijuana is legal in the Netherlands, it is not allowed to be flown on an aircraft because federal law governs aviation.
