Nicki Minaj’s fans rush to sell tickets as concert cancellation looms

She is set to perform at Manchester's Co-op Live Arena tonight but fans are selling their tickets after her arrest.

Nicki Minaj fans are worried that her upcoming concert might be cancelled following reports of her alleged arrest at Amsterdam airport.

According to The Mirror, the 41-year-old artist is scheduled to perform at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester tonight as part of her Pink Friday 2 Tour. 

However, the concert's status is now uncertain after Minaj posted a video of herself appearing to be arrested for allegedly "carrying drugs" while at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, The Mirror reports.

Fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to sell their tickets for tonight's show. 

One user posted, "I’m selling 2x tickets for Nicki Minaj tonight at Co-op Live, Manchester. If interested, Please send me a dm."

Another fan expressed desperation, saying they would "literally take anything" for someone to buy their ticket.

In a post on X, Nicki stated that airport security claimed to have found weed and that another group needed to weigh the pre-rolls. 

She also mentioned that her bags were taken without her consent.

During an Instagram Live video, Nicki was informed she needed to go to the police station regarding the allegations. A man in the video mentioned she would "get a lawyer at the office".

However, 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 on social media about her bags being pulled aside for a search at the airport. On X, she wrote: "They've been trying everything they possibly can to TRY to stop this tour."

She also accused staff of trying to "plant things" in her luggage. The musician shared a clip on Instagram of a man saying police needed to take a closer look at her bags.

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."
