Nicki Minaj show at Manchester’s Co-op Live in jeopardy after she’s 'arrested' at Amsterdam Airport when security 'found weed'

The 41-year-old posted: "They're trying to keep me from MANCHESTER."

In a post on X just before 4pm, Nicki said that she has to go to the "precinct" in order to give a "statement".

However, Minaj was told by an officer on an Instagram live stream that they will try to help her get to tonight's show by getting the process done as quickly as possible before she enters the police van and has the door closed behind her.

Co-op Live has since posted on X saying: "Please note that general admission and premium doors for tonight’s @NickiMinaj show will now open at 19:00."

The previous door opening time was 6.30pm, with Minaj initially expected to take to the stage at 8pm.

Robert van Kapel, a spokesman for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, told NBC News: "We can confirm that we have arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport because of possession of soft drugs."
