Nicki Minaj was arrested in the Netherlands on Saturday over an incident with her luggage, according to the rapper's social media.
The rapper shared a video on her X account Saturday afternoon where a man is seen telling her that her luggage needs to be searched.
In a separate video that Minaj recorded on Instagram Live and then was shared by fan accounts on X, she asked an Amsterdam police officer why she was being arrested.
The officer in the video replied, "because you're carrying drugs."
The rapper in the video denied carrying drugs and repeatedly demanded a lawyer when the officer told her to get in a vehicle.The officer could be heard mentioning her concert on Saturday night and saying they would "try to get [her] there" as soon as possible.
A spokesperson for the police in the Netherlands told NBC News it "arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport because of possession of soft drugs."
Minaj then took to X in a string of posts accusing the airport of "trying everything they can to TRY to stop this tour."
"Now they said they found weed and that another group of people have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls," one post read. "Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea and the pilot wants me to take my IG post down."
Possession of marijuana is legal in Amsterdam, as long as a person has no more than 5 grams on them, according to the Netherlands government website.
