Nicki Minaj has canceled a Pink Friday 2 Tour concert in Amsterdam after her reported arrest last weekend.
After first postponing her concert in Manchester, England, on Saturday following her purported arrest, a concert in Amsterdam set for Sunday has been canceled.
"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," concert promoter Mojo announced on its website Friday. "Tickets will be refunded at the point of sale."
Minaj was reportedly arrested in Amsterdam on Saturday. Footage from an Instagram Live by Minaj showed her exchange with an officer discussing her apparent arrest for "carrying drugs," which was later recorded and posted on X by various fan accounts.
The "Anaconda" rapper was heard saying, "I'm not carrying drugs," and telling the officer, "I need a lawyer present now" when the officer told her to get in a vehicle. The officer then appeared to say, "We'll get (you to) next show." Minaj responded and said, "You're talking about my show? What about it?" according to the Instagram Live apparently from the rapper's own page.

The 12-time Grammy nominee appeared to be detained, with the rapper confirming she was "in a jail cell for 5-6 hours" in an X post later that day.

The "Barbie World" rapper later postponed her concert that evening in Manchester, England, apologizing to fans in a social media post.
"I wanted to honestly tell you that I love you and I'm so sorry this happened," Minaj told fans from a hotel over the sound of screaming fans in a clip. "Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies."
This week, shows in London and Glasgow, Scotland, as well as a second show in Manchester, England, have gone on as planned. Minaj's upcoming shows include Paris on Saturday and Cologne, Germany, on Tuesday.

The Pink Friday 2 Tour began on March 1 with nearly 50 dates across North America and Europe. Named after her recent album "Pink Friday 2," released in December, the tour marks her first since The Pinkprint Tour in North America in 2015 and 2016, and 2019's Nicki Wrld Tour with Juice Wrld in Europe.
The "Super Freaky Girl" rapper will wrap up her world tour in Stockholm, Sweden, on Wednesday, June 12.
