“Nicki Minaj’s scheduled performance at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Saturday, May 25 has been postponed,” a statement said online.
Footage from Co-op Live, Britain’s largest indoor arena with a capacity of 23,500 people, showed fans patiently awaiting the star’s arrival – despite apparently receiving no updates on her whereabouts.
When the announcement was finally made, fans heard boos and shouts of disbelief, with organizers saying they were ‘deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused’.
Dutch police said a 41-year-old woman was arrested on Saturday after allegedly trying to bring what she described as “soft drugs” from Schiphol airport to another country.
