After being detained in Amsterdam, Nicki Minaj expressed regret to her fans, saying, “I’ll have the lawyers & God take it from here.”

Nicki Minaj apologized to a mob of fans gathered outside her Manchester hotel over the weekend after having to postpone a gig due to an arrest in Amsterdam.

“I love you and I’m sorry this happened tonight,” the rapper, dressed in pink from head to toe, addressed a group of Barbz, according to a video shared online.

Minaj, 41, was scheduled to play at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena Saturday night as part of her “Pink Friday 2” tour. However, she had to postpone the event after being detained in Amsterdam on suspicion of narcotics possession.

Nicki Minaj apologized to fans for postponing one of her Manchester shows.

Minaj appeared outside her hotel in Manchester over the weekend.

“I love you and I’m sorry this happened,” the rapper told the crowd.

The “Super Freaky Girl” rapper first apologized to fans in a series of tweets shared via X on Saturday.

“Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today. May God cover you & all that is connected to you. May you be blessed beyond your imagination,” Minaj explained in a lengthy statement about the arrest, noting that she has “sooooooooo much video evidence” as she filmed her experience in real time.

“I’ll have the lawyers & GOD take it from here tho. Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies. They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today but this too, shall pass.”

At one point, she also shared the name of her Manchester hotel and invited fans to see her.

The “Bang Bang” performer live-streamed her arrest.

She was arrested for allegedly “carrying drugs.”

“Barbz, I’m @ the stock exchange hotel in #Manchester I arrived a little over an hour ago.After sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours, my plane still didn’t take off for another 20 mins once I boarded,” she shared.

“I’m going on the balcony so if you’re outside I’ll be able to see you & I may come downstairs. ’ll be out there for about an hour. [Really] wanted to at least get to see you.”

As previously reported, Minaj live-streamed herself being told by police in Amsterdam that she was under arrest for allegedly “carrying drugs” – just a few hours before her next show was set to kick off.

In footage shared via her various social media platforms, an officer can be heard telling Minaj that she needed to stop recording and enter a police vehicle. She continuously refused and asked to speak to her lawyer before eventually entering the car.

Minaj claims she was detained for five to six hours.

Minaj at first refused to go into a police vehicle and asked for her lawyer.

In another video, an official told Minaj that all her luggage needed to be searched on the suspicion that she was carrying more drugs.

“Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. Keep in mind they took my bags without consent,” she alleged via X Saturday morning. “My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down.”

At the time, Minaj noted the irony of allegedly carrying marijuana in a country where it’s legal, writing, “This is Amsterdam btw, where weed is legal.”

The “Queen of Rap” further suggested that her old management company may have been behind the arrest.

The ordeal forced her to cancel a Manchester show.

Dutch authorities confirmed that Minaj had been arrested “on suspicion of exporting soft drugs.”

“All b/c I fired mngmnt who I found out for years were adding on 30-50K on my jet & pocketing it,” she alleged. “I fired a tour mngr recently who was doing the same thing & mad he got the boot. Their goal is to make me late, & to pocket 40K.”

Authorities in Amsterdam confirmed via X Saturday afternoon that Minaj had been released after being booked “on suspicion of exporting soft drugs” and fined.

Following her own experience with authorities, Minaj also retweeted a few posts about singer Ari Lennox, who was arrested at the Amsterdam Airport in 2021. Authorities claimed she was “full of emotions” at the time and arrested for disturbing public order.

The rapper noted the irony of being arrested for weed in a country where it’s legal.

The hitmaker is currently on the road for her “Pink Friday 2” tour.

She is scheduled to perform in Manchester on Thursday, May 30.

“She was ‘full of emotions.’ Minaj stated, “She was arrested because she was full of emotions in Amsterdam.” “Hmmmm, fascinating. “I had no idea this was a ‘thing’ there.”

The “Barbie World” hitmaker then compared Lennox to Sandra Bland, a black woman who was discovered dead in a Texas jail cell three days after being stopped during a traffic check. “Who spoke up for her?” she said, adding that the situation “could’ve easily been” a Bland incident. “I’m so happy she made it out alive & well.”

Minaj is scheduled to play in Manchester on Thursday, May 30.
