Authorities in Amsterdam attempted to arrest Nicki Minaj for alleged drug possession, per an Instagram Live and a series of posts on X the rap superstar shared Saturday.
An official can be heard saying in the live video that they wanted to take the rap superstar into custody for allegedly “carrying drugs” — which she denied.
“I’m not going in there. I need a lawyer present,” Minaj, 41, argued while seemingly at an airport.

After some protest, the “Barbie World” rapper’s video showed her stepping into a police vehicle.
She then became concerned about her upcoming show, and the officer assured her someone would “try to get [her] there” as soon as possible.
She is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. It’s unclear if she was actually booked at a police station.
Minaj wrote via X Saturday, “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. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down.”
Her most recent X post at the time of publication — posted at 10:51 a.m. ET — reads, “Now they said I have to go 5 mins away to make a statement about my security to the police precinct.”
Page Six has reached out to the star’s reps and authorities in Amsterdam for comment but did not immediately hear back.
