Nicki Minaj Cancels Show Following Drugs Arrest

American Singer and Rapper Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj, an American rapper, and vocalist, has canceled her upcoming gig in Amsterdam on Sunday, June 2nd. 

This comes after she was arrested in the Dutch capital last Saturday for allegedly attempting to export "soft drugs" from the nation.

The Trinidad-born rapper and singer was forced to cancel a show in Manchester that evening after being kept in jail at Schiphol Airport for around six hours.

She was allowed to fly to the United Kingdom after paying a fine of 350 euro (£300).

The 41-year-old star had previously performed at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on May 23 and was scheduled to return this Sunday, but concert promoter Mojo announced that the show would no longer take place "due to the events of last week".

The US-based star characterized her airport treatment as "disgusting" and said she was treated differently because of her color.

Minaj live-streamed her arrest on social media, claiming the drugs discovered in her luggage did not belong to her.
