Nicki Minaj is speaking out after she was detained in Amsterdam for drug possession, which forced her to postpone her Pink Friday 2 concert in Manchester.
I previously reported the Queen of the Barbs was arrested while on Instagram Live after authorities allegedly found drugs in her luggage.

After being detained long enough to miss her Manchester show, Nicki Minaj was released and fined.
She took to Twitter to express her gratitude for the outpouring of support and shared a few thoughts about the entire ordeal.
Last, but not certainly least, she apologized to her fans for missing today’s show in Manchester but promised to make it up to them.
Read her full statement below.
Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today. May God cover you & all that is connected to you.
May you be blessed beyond your imagination.
Barbz, I’m @ the stock exchange hotel in #Manchester I arrived a little over an hour ago.
After sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours, my plane still didn’t take off for another 20 mins once I boarded.
The flight was 50 mins. 50 mins.
That’s why they had to do the big song & dance b/c they knew I’d still find a way to perform even if it came down to my last 90 mins in the building which would have been until 1130pm.
The building was willing to go past 11pm. So grateful to them for that.
So they succeeded at their plan to not let me get on that stage tonight. I succeeded @ getting to the root of it all by recording them & posting everything in real time.
I have sooooooooo much video evidence. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.
I’ll have the lawyers & GOD take it from here tho.
Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies.
They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today but this too, shall pass.
They’ve been doing this over & over & over & over & over again & I’ve tried so hard to not discuss it b/c you guys deserve to just get the good stuff.
I hate involving you in anything that isn’t for entertainment purposes only.
We will have another date for tonight’s show shortly & I’ll probably be able to share it tmrw.
One July option & one June option is currently being discussed.
I’ll find a way to not only make up the date with the performance but I’m going to create an added bonus for everyone that had a tkt for this show. Promise.
I’ll STILL be performing at the 2nd #Manchester show on the 30th. 5 days away.
I’ll STILL be performing in #Birmingham tmrw
ok Barbz Love you
See the original tweet below.
After dropping her location, the Barbz pulled up to Nicki Minaj’s hotel to show their love and support.
At some point, they began to chant, “Nicki’s Free.”
