Nicki Minaj searched and detained at Amsterdam airport, according to reports

• Nicki Minaj was detained at an Amsterdam airport for drug possession, according to Dutch outlets.
• Minaj chronicled the arrest on X, saying the marijuana belonged to her security.
• Minaj is scheduled to perform in Manchester on Saturday, but the venue has delayed admission.

Authorities detained Nicki Minaj at Amsterdam's Schipol airport for "soft" drug possession, according to the rapper's own social media and Dutch news outlets.

The arrest occurred on Saturday, hours before Minaj, 41, is scheduled to perform in Manchester, England, Dutch outlet NRC Handelsblad reported. The American rapper is in Amsterdam as part of her "Pink Friday 2" World Tour.

A spokesperson for local police told the outlet that border guards arrested an American woman. But they did not name Minaj.

Minaj, however, chronicled the event on Instagram Live and in a series of posts on X.

Online entertainment blog Buzzing Pop shared footage that showed a man who appeared to be an officer suggesting that Minaj had drugs in her possession, which she denied.

The officer told Minaj she needed to go to the local police station, at which point she requested a lawyer.

A video Minaj shared to X showed her talking to a different man, who told her authorities needed to search her luggage.

Minaj said in separate X posts that authorities took her luggage without her consent and claimed to have found marijuana.

"My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him," she wrote.

The City of Amsterdam says on its government website that while cannabis is not legal in the Netherlands, there is a "tolerance policy" that means the "law is not enforced in relation to the retail sale of small quantities for personal use in cannabis cafés known as 'coffeeshops.'"

"Although the Dutch Opium Act states that personal possession of small amounts of cannabis ('soft drugs') up to 5 grams is a punishable offence, this law is not enforced," the city says.

The last X post Minaj wrote said authorities requested she make a statement about her security to the local police precinct.

Representatives for Minaj and the Netherlands national police did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Following Minaj's X posts and local reports, the venue for her Manchester tour stop alerted guests that admissions had been delayed.
