AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj is still upset by her latest run-in with the law. Bringing up Ari Lennox's 2021 detainment in Amsterdam, the "Super Freaky Girl" hitmaker accused police of racial profiling for arresting her too.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the 41-year-old quote-retweeted an article from more than two years ago that read, "U.S. singer Ari Lennox tweeted she is 'safe' following her arrest in Amsterdam's airport after she reported racial profiling by airline staff." It added, "No details on her release were immediately given. Police claimed she was 'full of emotions' and arrested for disturbing public order.
In her own message, Nicki quoted, "[Ari Lennox] was 'full of emotions.' " She went on to note, "She was arrested b/c she was full of emotions in AmsterDAM. Hmmmmm interesting. I didn't know this was a 'thing' there. Who spoke up for her? Could've easily been another Sandra Bland incident. I'm so happy she made it out alive & well."
Nicki was detained at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport over the weekend after authorities alleged that "soft drugs" were found in her luggage. She documented the arrest on Instagram Live.
Dutch police eventually released the rap star after fining her. However, the ordeal delayed her travel schedule, rendering her unable to perform at the Co-Op Arena in Manchester on Saturday, May 25, where a crowd of eager fans was already gathered.
The femcee has apologized to fans though. "Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today. May God cover you & all that is connected to you. May you be blessed beyond your imagination," the Trinidadian-born rapper said, before assuring them that the concert would be rescheduled and promising an added bonus for those who had tickets for the original show.
