Nicki Minaj was apparently arrested in Amsterdam on Saturday for allegedly carrying drugs — despite the “Super Bass” songstress’ repeated instance that she had no contraband, according to Instagram Live footage she posted of the incident.
One official said that they wanted to take the “Bang Bang” rapper into custody for “carrying drugs,” the video showed.
“I’m not going in there. I need a lawyer present,” the 41-year-old replied.
The officer also mentioned her concert scheduled for Saturday night in Manchester, England, and said they would “try to get [her] there” as soon as possible.
“Oh, so I’m under arrest?” Minah asked, while multiple officers repeatedly asked her to stop filming.
In a second video, Minaj appeared to be seated inside a vehicle while speaking to a uniformed man about the plans to go through all her bags.
“Why didn’t you guys search it before they went on the plane?” she asked.
The man shrugged and said that the previous officer did not believe the rap star was not carrying drugs — and was miffed that she had filmed him.
It was not immediately clear if Minaj – who is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour – was actually booked at a police station.
“Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls,” Minaj wrote on X around 10:30 a.m. ET.
“Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down,” she added.
The rapper went on to lament that her plane was being held up by at least two hours.
Her last update — shared shortly before 11 a.m. ET — said the police were asking for her to make a statement at a police precinct.
Meanwhile, fans of the music superstar took to social media with the hashtag “#FREENICKI.”
“The craziest news to wake up to. Amsterdam, get it together & fast! This arrest was so uncalled for,” the graphic designer Nicholas Davison wrote on X.
