Here’s Why The Rapper Was Arrested
As The Shade Room previously reported, Minaj was apparently attempting to make her way from Amsterdam to Manchester, England, on Saturday, May 25. When she arrived outside of the airport to board her flight, she was told that her luggage needed to be removed from her vehicle and searched.
As the ordeal unfolded, Minaj alleged to fans via X, formerly known as Twitter, that her tour was being “sabotaged” by the unexpected incident and abrupt delay in her travel schedule.
Additionally, Minaj accused former team members of being the ones behind the plot.
They try to make me book another jet every time. All b/c I fired mngmnt who I found out for years were adding on 30-50K on my jet & pocketing it. 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

Eventually, Minaj alleged to fans that police found marijuana in her items. She explained that the pre-rolls belonged to her security. However, the police didn’t buy her response.
Ultimately, Minaj was later arrested but managed to film the ordeal on Instagram Live.
