American rapper Nicki Minaj revealed that she underwent a brief detention at Amsterdam Schiphol airport on Saturday due to an allegation of possessing soft drugs. At 41 years old, she was held just hours before her scheduled performance in Manchester, England. In a video posted on the social media platform X, Minaj appeared to receive information from a Schiphol employee about the police's intention to search all her luggage.
The Dutch military police confirmed the detention of a 41-year-old American woman for the possession of soft drugs on Saturday. They also stated that it was illegal to transport such substances out of the Netherlands. While authorities did not disclose the suspect's name, they did reveal that she was still in custody pending an investigation. Minaj, who previously served as a judge on 'American Idol', had performed at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on Thursday and is slated for another show there on June 2.
