Nicki Minaj has spoken out about what she described as “disgusting” treatment following her arrest in Amsterdam over the weekend.
The incident, which occurred amid her European tour, left Minaj feeling deeply unsettled and compelled her to address the matter publicly.
According to reports from Sky News, Minaj took to Stationhead to share her ordeal after being detained on suspicion of exporting soft drugs. The Queens native expressed her dismay at the situation, revealing that she hadn’t felt so low in a long time.
In a candid discussion, the 41-year-old artist lamented the treatment she received during her six-hour stint in custody, highlighting the distressing nature of the experience.
“Not being able to get to Manchester, I don’t know when was the last time I felt that low,” she confessed.
“Not only that but knowing that something is being done to you on purpose because you are a confident other race.”
Minaj further detailed her arrest, sharing footage on Instagram Live of the moment she was taken into custody. In the video, she can be heard questioning the reasons for her arrest, expressing confusion and frustration over the situation.
The repercussions of the arrest were felt beyond the confines of the police station, as Minaj was forced to postpone her scheduled performance in Manchester.
Despite the setback, she made efforts to connect with her fans by meeting them outside her hotel to apologize for the postponement.
Expressing her resolve to address the incident legally, Minaj vowed to take action against the Amsterdam police, whom she believes intentionally thwarted her performance plans.
She underscored her determination to seek justice by compiling video evidence of the incident, which she intends to hand over to her legal team.
In a social media post, Minaj asserted her agency in confronting the situation, highlighting her success in capturing the events on video in real-time. She expressed confidence in her legal representatives and a belief in divine intervention to navigate the situation.
