American rapper Nicki Minaj said she was held at Amsterdam Schiphol airport on Saturday on allegation of possession of soft drugs.
Minaj, 41, was detained hours before she was due to perform a concert in Manchester, England.
The singer posted a video on social media platform X in which she seemed to be told by a Schiphol employee that police wanted to "search all her luggage".
"Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls," she said in a following post.
She also alleged: “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.”
Minaj also live-streamed what appeared to be a conversation with an officer, who asked her to get into a van so she could go to a police station.
“I’m not carrying drugs, I’m not going in there,” she says in the clip.
She then asks the officer if she is “under arrest” to which the the Dutch policeman replies “yes”.
Minaj is told by another policeman that she will get a “lawyer” and to stop filming, and then gets inside the van.
Dutch military police confirmed a 41-year-old American woman had been held for possession of soft drugs on Saturday, adding it was prohibited to take such substances out of the Netherlands.
Police did not confirm the suspect's name, but said she was still in custody pending an investigation.
The former "American Idol" judge played a show in Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on Thursday and is due to return there for another show on June 2nd.
