Ticket buyers will be entitled to refunds at their point of purchase.”
Last week, via several social media posts, Nicki detailed her issues with local authorities at the Amsterdam airport while on her way to Manchester for a concert. She posted a video in which she spoke to her pilot, who relayed that the police wanted to conduct another, more invasive luggage search under the suspicion of drug possession. She claimed this was a plot to ‘sabotage’ her tour and delay her for her next performance.
She even broadcasted the moment she got arrested live. Subsequently, the Manchester concert was delayed.
After her release, Nicki issued a comprehensive statement about the occurrence, which she shared with her followers. You can read the complete statement from her.
