One week ago, Nicki Minaj went viral after live-streaming her arrest in Amsterdam. Dutch Military Police released her the exact day, but she has voiced her discontent with the incident, suggesting her race played a factor.
Now, as per to multiple reports, DMP has responded to those comments.
As mentioned, the ‘Pink Friday 2’ artist took to Station Head prior this week to speak with her fans about the arrest experience. She said the incident made her feel “low” and alleged that the delay in her travel was done “on purpose.” “You are a confident, other race, you know,” Minaj said.
For context, the Dutch Military Police later released a statement saying Nicki’s detainment happened after they found 30 to 100 grams of cannabis in her luggage. During her arrest, she told DMP that the pre-rolls belonged to her security guard. She also asked their search process, which involved the removal of her luggage after it was on the plane.
Ultimately, the Amsterdam authorities chose to take her into custody but later released her with a fine of 350 euros.
The experience has looking like impacted Nicki’s willingness to return to Amsterdam. The promotional company behind the tour stop, MOJO, has said the June 2 show isn’t happening “due to the events of last week.” All ticket holders will receive a refund.
On the other hand, a DMP spokesperson has said the lawsuit involving Nicki is closed. This means she’s free to return to the country without their interference. That statement was made to broadcast org NOS and translated by BBC.
