Nicki Minaj arrested for marijuana?

On May 25th, Nicki Minaj's social media was flooded with complaints. The rapper explained to her fans that she was arrested at the Amsterdam airport for possession of marijuana.

Consequently, she was forced to cancel the concert.

The artist claims the whole situation is sabotage: "They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show. They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal."
