Nicki Minaj is due to play in Manchester tonight but was stopped by police in Amsterdam today
Tonight's Nicki Minaj concert at the new Co-op Live arena has been thrown into doubt after the singer was stopped by police at an airport in the Netherlands.
She then posted at 4pm that she had to attend a police station to give a 'statement'. She has not posted since, and was originally due on stage in Manchester at 8pm. There are reports she has been arrested in the Netherlands, however this has not been confirmed at this stage. She then claimed staff were trying to "plant things" in her luggage. The musician also shared a clip on Instagram of a man telling her police needed to take a closer look at her luggage, reports the Mirror.
Nicki replied: "But wasn't that what you planned on doing from the get-go? Why didn't you guys search it before it went on the plane?" The staff member explained how that had been a "random, quick check" and they now wanted to open it.
