Amsterdam Barbz were left disappointed when two Nicki Minaj concerts were cancelled in their city. According to Deadline, the second Amsterdam show on Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour was cancelled on Friday night, one week after the rapper’s detainment for allegedly having marijuana in her luggage.
The cancellation was announced on the website for Dutch promoter Mojo, stating “Due to the events of last week, the Nicki Minaj show on Sunday, 2nd June at Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam will no longer be taking place. Tickets will be refunded at the point of sale.”
Minaj shared footage of the arrest on Instagram Live and expressed her frustration towards the Dutch police and sadness over disappointing her fanbase in the Netherlands. She expressed her concerns on social media, stating, “They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show…This is what it looks like when people are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.”
The Queens native was arrested at Schipol Airport and fined 350 Euros, as she called the treatment “disgusting” and racially motivated, which legal authorities denied. A spokesperson for the Dutch police dismissed Minaj’s claims about her treatment, stating, “We arrested her when we found dozens of joints in her luggage…The lady was released four hours after arrest in consultation with the public prosecutor, and after paying a fine.”
