AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj is back to work following an unpleasant experience amid her "Pink Friday 2 World Tour". The "Barbie World" raptress took the stage in Birmingham after getting arrested in Amsterdam for alleged drug possession.
On Sunday night, May 26, the 41-year-old hip-hop artist entertained her fans, famously known as Barbz, by performing at the Resorts World Arena in the city in England. During the show, she belted out many songs, including ones titled "Let Me Calm Down", "Your Love", "Hold Yuh", "Pound the Alarm", "Crocodile Teeth", "Side to Side" and "Save Me".
Nicki also let one of the concertgoers, who was standing near the stage, to rap her verses on "Bang Bang" for 30 seconds. Once the concertgoer held her glittery all-pink microphone, he delivered her verses without a single mistake, leaving Nicki in shock. She then stated, "You just won a thousand dollars," prompting the packed audience to scream out loud.
The fun concert came after Nicki was arrested in Amsterdam for alleged drug possession. On Saturday, May 25, she was detained at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport after authorities alleged that "soft drugs" were found in her luggage. She documented the arrest on Instagram Live. Dutch police eventually released her after fining her. However, the ordeal delayed her travel schedule, forcing her to cancel her Saturday gig in Manchester.
In the wake of the cancellation, Nicki issued an apology to her fans via social media. She also assured them that the concert would be rescheduled and promised an added bonus for those who had tickets for the original show.
Aside from that, Nicki apologized to her devotees directly when she met a group of them in front of her hotel in Manchester. She previously spilled the name of her hotel on her social media page before many fans gathered in front of it. She stepped out of the hotel to greet her fans. "I just wanted to tell you that I love you," she stated, before adding, "Everything happens for a reason."
