Nicki Minaj Announces Rescheduled Manchester Concert After Amsterdam Arrest

Nicki Minaj has announced the scheduled date for her postponed concert in Manchester, England.

The rap superstar, 41, took to social media on Monday (May 27) to update Barbz on her May 25 show at Manchester's Co-Op Live, which was canceled after she was arrested in Amsterdam for alleged drug trafficking.

“Ok guys, JUST ADVISED AGAIN that we actually CAN'T do another make up date #gagcityMANCHESTER other than JUNE 3rd,” Minaj wrote to X (formerly Twitter).

He added, “So 3rd JUNE is the new official date for all ticket holders who originally had tickets for the #Manchester show on 25th May. I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. I really hope you can make the #JUNE3rd show. It will be really special. Ticketmaster will contact you to officially notify you.”

On Saturday (May 25), the 'Super Bass' rapper was released by police in the Netherlands just hours after recording her arrest by Amsterdam authorities for allegedly 'carrying drugs'. As a result, the artist was forced to postpone her concert in Manchester as part of her Pink Friday 2 tour.

“Despite Nicki's best efforts to explore every avenue possible to make tonight's show happen, the events of today have made that impossible,” promoter Live Nation said in a statement on Saturday. “We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused.”

After “sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours” before arriving in Manchester, Minaj gave an update in a post on X Saturday night.

“Soon we'll have another date for tonight's show and I'll probably be able to share it tmrw,” she wrote. “A July option and a June option are being discussed at the moment. I will find a way to not only fill in the date with the show, but create an added bonus for everyone who had a tkt for this show. Promise.”

The “Super Freaky Girl” rapper also shared the location of her hotel and welcomed local fans to stop by and say hello.

“Barbz, I'm going to the balcony, so if you're out I can see you and I might come down,” He wrote. “I'll be out there for about an hour. Rlly wanted to at least see you. But if you're in bed, please STAY THERE.”
