Audio compositions or melodies - Following her arrest, Nicki Minaj plans to catch up on her missed performances.
On Saturday, a concert scheduled for the evening in Manchester was called off due to Nicki Minaj being held up at Amsterdam airport for carrying cannabis in her baggage. The prosecutor's office gave her a 350 euro fine before granting permission to proceed with her UK concert.
The Dutch border police representative told ANP that it was an "insufficient yet countable amount of cannabis," implying less than 100 grams, prompting the imposed fine. Minaj shared the news on X and mentioned it was not hers, but her bodyguard's. "This is Amsterdam," she emphasized, "where it's permitted to smoke weed."
As witnessed on Sky News' video, Manchester's venue was packed when the show cancellation was announced. An early morning queue outside was captured on film. Post the Birmingham concert on Sunday, Minaj is scheduled to have another performance in Manchester on the following Thursday.
