Nicki Minaj fans are panicking her upcoming concert will be cancelled after she was allegedly arrested at Amsterdam airport.

The 41-year-old is set to play at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester tonight as part of her Pink Friday 2 Tour, but the show has been thrown up in the air after she filmed herself seemingly getting arrested for allegedly "carrying drugs" while travelling from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

Fans have now taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to try and sell their tickets for tonight's show. One person posted: "I’m selling 2x tickets for Nicki Minaj tonight at Co-op Live, Manchester. If interested, Please send me a dm."

Co-op Live Arena is yet to release information about whether the concert will still be going ahead. In a post on X at 5.25pm, they said: "Please note that general admission and premium doors for tonight’s @NickiMinaj show will now open at 19:00."

However, at 4pm, Nicki posted: "It's a 45 minute to an hour flight. So they're prob trying to stall for about 4 hours." An hour later she said: "Now they said I have to go 5 mins away to make a statement about my security to the police precinct." She hasn't posted on social media since.

Nicki was seemingly arrested while travelling from Amsterdam for allegedly "carrying drugs". She has vehemently denied the allegations in an Instagram Live.

In a post shared on X, Nicki claimed airport security "said they found weed & that another group of pp have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls". She also claimed her bags had been taken without her consent.

In a video shared on Instagram Live, Nicki was told she needed to go to the police station in regards to the allegations. In the video, a man said she would "get a lawyer at the office". However, during the Instagram Live, Nicki said she was told to "get into this [police] van and go into the precinct with no lawyer present".

Before the alleged arrest, Nicki shared updates to social media as she told fans how her bags were being pulled aside to be searched at the airport. Writing on X, the star said: "They've been trying everything they possibly can to TRY to stop this tour."

She then claimed staff were trying to "plant things" in her luggage. The musician also shared a clip on Instagram of a man telling her police needed to take a closer look at her luggage.

Alongside the clip, she wrote: "They've been trying to stop me from coming to every show. 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."
