Famous rapper Nicki Minaj received backlash over her apparently brash behavior towards her dance crew.
Last Sunday, Nicki, at the age of 41, was seen performing at the Resorts World Birmingham in the UK.
Footage from the event was shared on the internet in an online forum.
At the stage in the arena, the acclaimed artist displayed her toned midriff in a white crop top.
She donned a purple headscarf atop her auburn wig.
Her denim jeans showcased rips extending the full length of her legs.
During her ‘Pink Friday Girls’ performance, which includes a sample from Cyndi Lauper’s hit ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’, Nicki was seen making a request mid-song.
“Bring me the leopard scarf,” Nicki instructed, as captured in the half-minute footage.
Her interaction with one of the dancers showed her shaking her head to what the dancer was saying.
The dancer extended her arm, which Nicki appeared to swat away.
“Bring me my leopard scarf,” she reiterated forcefully.
Nicki turned her back to the crowd and slipped the mic from her face, placing her hands on her hips as if scolding the dance crew.
The other dancers carried on with their performance, ignoring the disruption.
The crowd began to boo, sensing the tension on stage.
Online commenters criticized Nicki’s demeanor towards the dancers.
Details Surrounding Nicki Minaj’s Arrest
A look into the arrest of Nicki Minaj in Amsterdam:
Nicki, aged 41, was detained in The Netherlands on suspicion of “carrying drugs” during a flight to England, reports from local broadcaster NU.nl indicate.
“Presently, she is under arrest,” stated Robert van Kapel – a representative for the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, the border control agency at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport – in an interview with The Independent.
Despite her claims of innocence, law enforcement instructed the singer to report to their station, captured in a live Instagram video.
An officer informed Nicki in the live footage that she “will get a lawyer at the office” and urged her to proceed “as fast as possible.”
Nicki shared with her followers on Instagram Live that officials commanded her to “get into this police car and go to the station without a lawyer.”
The musician further stated that a member of the Amsterdam Airport security team required her to “provide a statement without a lawyer present” after the discovery of “pre-rolls in bags” they claimed they “did not have the authority to open.”
Nicki later addressed the arrest on her X social media, previously known as Twitter.
“Thank you to everyone who included me in their prayers today. God bless you and all you hold dear. May your blessings surpass your wildest dreams,” she posted on Twitter.
“After spending roughly 5-6 hours in a cell, my flight was still delayed 20 minutes post-boarding. The flight itself was only 50 minutes. Just 50 minutes.”
“Those dancers looked petrified,” one user commented.
“Still performing well, but it’s clear the dancers will do whatever it takes to avoid Nicki’s attention after the show,” another one added.
“Very unprofessional behavior…” chimed in a third.
‘IN PIECES’
The popular artist canceled her concert in Manchester on Saturday right before she was scheduled to appear.
Due to purported “soft drug possession,” Nicki was detained by Dutch officials.
Following her release in Amsterdam, where she handed over a fine, a source close to her tour revealed to The U.S. Sun that Nicki is keen on redeeming herself to disappointed fans.
“Nicki is heartbroken and is aware of the letdown her fans are feeling,” the informant disclosed.
“She’s conscious of the fact her British fans invested considerably to attend her concert, and her management is tirelessly aiming to reschedule it,” they added.
“Nicki gets the frustration and wants to make amends,” the resource explained further.
“She prefers conversing with her fanbase personally. Nicki aspires to set this right,” they concluded.
