Nicki Minaj released by Dutch police, fined after Amsterdam airport drug  incident ahead of Manchester concert | Daily Record - Daily Record

 

Nicki Minaj, the internationally renowned rapper, has been released from custody in Amsterdam following an unexpected arrest earlier today. The news has taken social media by storm, with the hashtag #FreeNicki trending at number one as fans express their outrage and support for the artist.

The arrest reportedly occurred when Minaj, 41, was suspected of exporting self-defense items. According to a statement from RTL Boulevard, local authorities released Minaj after consulting with the public prosecution service. The rapper received a fine and is now free to continue her journey. The statement read, “We have just released a 41-year-old American woman who we arrested this afternoon on suspicions of exporting self-defense items. After consultation with the public prosecution service, the suspect was fined and can continue her journey.”

This incident has sparked significant backlash from Minaj’s fans, known as the “Barbz,” who are calling for accountability and urging the artist to take legal action. Many believe that Minaj has been targeted unfairly, with some pointing fingers at her former management team. Allegations suggest that these individuals, whom Minaj had fired, might be involved in framing her.

Fans are also drawing parallels to a similar incident in Canada, where Minaj was reportedly stopped by police at the airport in Toronto while on her Pink Friday 2 tour. In both cases, Minaj faced significant disruptions but managed to continue her performances after the issues were resolved.

The incident in Amsterdam has only added fuel to the fire, with many questioning the procedures followed by the authorities. Critics are asking why Minaj’s luggage was not checked thoroughly upon her arrival in Amsterdam and why the issue only arose as she was attempting to leave.

Minaj’s supporters are vocal in their demand for justice, insisting that she should sue those responsible for these repeated disruptions. They argue that such incidents are not only illegal but also part of a broader pattern of attempts to undermine her career.

Despite the setback, Minaj remains resilient. The continuation of her Pink Friday 2 tour is a testament to her determination and the unwavering support of her fans. As the dust settles, the Barbz eagerly await Minaj’s next move, hoping for a strong response against those who have wronged her.
