Dutch police arrested rapper Nicki Minaj in the Netherlands for drug possession, according to reports. Nicki recorded police asking her about drugs as she demands a lawyer.
“Oh, I’m under arrest? Under arrest for what?” she asked.
Officers told Nicki to “Please stop filming now” and “could you step in the car please?”
“No, I need a lawyer because I don’t know where I’m going,” she responded. An officer assured the rapper that she will get a lawyer.

Nicki’s arrest happened during the European leg of her Pink Friday 2 Tour.
The 41-year-old mom-of-one accused airport staff of deliberately trying to “sabotage” her tour.
In tweets, Nicki explained that her “security” was carrying “weed” which is “legal” in Amsterdam.
“Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls,” Minaj wrote on X around 10:30 a.m. ET.
“Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down,” she added.

It isn’t clear if Nicki’s husband, Kenny “Zoo” Petty is on tour with her. A judge allowed him to travel out of the country.
