Nicki Minaj Fans Celebrate Her Freedom With Chants Outside Her Hotel Room Following Arrest

Fans of Nicki Minaj came out in droves to support the rapper in Manchester outside of her hotel after she was arrested in Amsterdam over the weekend. Earlier in the day, she announced the cancelation of her show at the city's Co-Op Live due to the airport hold-up. Apologizing to her fans on social media, she revealed the location of where she was staying and asked them to stop by.

"I love you and I'm so sorry this happened tonight," Minaj said in a video posted on social media. In another post on X (formerly Twitter), she added: "I'm going on the balcony so if you're outside I'll be able to see you & I may come downstairs. I'll be out there for about an hour. Rlly (really) wanted to at least get to see you."

Minaj made headlines for live streaming the arrest on Instagram, showing officers accusing her of carrying drugs. "They've been trying to stop me from coming to every show," she wrote on X afterward. "They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they're waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they've done is illegal." She was eventually released after a several-hour delay that caused her to cancel that night's concert.
