Nicki Minaj Arrested in Amsterdam While Live on Instagram

International rap superstar Nicki Minaj was arrested today in Amsterdam while streaming live on Instagram. The arrest occurred amid a series of dramatic events that led the artist to miss her scheduled flight to Manchester, where she was set to perform at a sold-out show.

Minaj, known for her candid and direct social media presence, had been sharing her ordeal with fans in real time. According to Minaj, her troubles began with an extensive security check at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol that lasted over two hours. The rapper expressed frustration over the delay, hinting at ulterior motives behind the prolonged scrutiny.

“Ask yourself what takes 2 hours if they’ve searched everything already?” Minaj questioned in her live stream. “And the ppl who weigh it ain’t here. Told you, it’s to try to make me late so that they can write negative stories. Jealousy is a disease. You know the rest,” she added with a mix of exasperation and irony.

Minaj also used the platform to air grievances about her former management and tour manager. She accused them of inflating costs for private jets by $30,000 to $50,000 and pocketing the difference, which led to their dismissal.

“They try to make me book another jet every time. All b/c I fired management who I found out for years were adding on 30-50K on my jet & pocketing it. I fired a tour manager recently who was doing the same thing & mad he got the boot. Their goal is to make me late, & to pocket 40K,” Minaj revealed.

The situation escalated further when Minaj recounted a troubling encounter with airport security personnel over her baggage. She claimed that her luggage was taken and was initially told it was already on the plane, despite her not having handed it over yet.

“They took my luggage & when I asked where it is they said it’s on the plane. It couldn’t have been, I just pulled up. I never gave them my bags. They’re refusing to let me see my bags,” she said. “This is how they plant things in your luggage.”

As the live stream continued, viewers were stunned to witness Dutch police arrive and detain Minaj. The reasons for her arrest remain unclear, but speculation suggests it could be related to her accusations against airport security.
