Nicki Minaj’s show in Manchester has been canceled because the singer was arrested in Amsterdam

Minaj said Dutch authorities claimed to have found cannabis in her luggage and repeatedly accused them of trying to sabotage her tour.

In one post, she appeared to suggest that authorities had put something in her bag. In another post, she claimed: “They tried everything they could to TRY to stop this tour.”

“By the way, this is Amsterdam (by the way) where weed is legal,” she added in a later post.

Co-op Live, the country’s biggest entertainment venue, was due to open in April with a show by comedian Peter Kay.

However, it was delayed so that its leadership could test emergency communications systems. Performances by musicians, including American singer Olivia Rodrigo, were also cancelled.

Part of the building’s ventilation and air conditioning system fell to the ground during a sound test earlier this month.

“We can confirm that we have arrested a 41-year-old American woman at Schiphol Airport for possession of soft drugs,” a spokesman for the Netherlands’ Marechaussee military police told NBC News.

Minaj is due to perform in Birmingham on Sunday as part of her Pink Friday world tour, followed by a concert at London’s O2 arena next Tuesday.

He is due to play in Glasgow on Wednesday, before returning to Manchester the following day.
