Outraged by the incident, Nicki took to her Instagram page and posted a video of the incident, claiming that the arrest was an attempt to "sabotage" her tour.

"They've been trying to stop me from coming to every show," Minaj wrote on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). "They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now, they're waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when [people] are paid big money to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everyting they've done is illegal."

Nicki is slated to perform tonight, May 25, at Co-Op Live in Manchester, UK. The "Super Bass" singer has several more stops scheduled across the UK and Europe before wrapping things up at Les Ardentes in Leige, Belgium on July 14.
