Nicki, 41, was arrested by police in the Netherlands on Saturday for allegedly “carrying drugs” with her on a flight to England, according to local news station NU.nl.
Despite denying that she was carrying anything illegal, the singer was informed that she needed to report to the police station, according to a live video captured on her Instagram.
In the clip, a man tells the songwriter that she is “going to get a lawyer in the office” and that they need her to come “as soon as possible.”
Nicki explained to fans on her Instagram Live that airport employees told her to “get into it [police] van and go to the police station without any lawyer present.”
The rapper also claimed that someone working for the security team at Amsterdam Airport asked her to make a “statement without the presence of a lawyer” after they found “pre-rolls in bags” that they “weren’t allowed to take.”
A representative for Nicki did not immediately respond to US Sun’s request for comment.
Earlier in the day, the Barbie World singer accused Amsterdam Airport crew of trying to delay her travels to prevent her from performing on her scheduled Gag City tour dates.
Nicki recorded employees as they forced her to return her bags to security for additional checks.
In the clip, shared on her Instagram profile, the rapper filmed a man who approached her vehicle to make a request to the Amsterdam police.
The airline crew member, who appeared in a gray suit, white button-down shirt and red tie, leaned into the black car.
Nicki asked the man to repeat it on camera, to which he responded, “The officer told me we have to unload all your luggage and search everything in your luggage.
“I’m sorry to say this,” the airline representative added.
“But isn’t that what you planned to do from the beginning? Why didn’t you search before boarding the plane?” the pop star asked in response.
“They just did a quick random check, but now they want to open it,” he replied.
“Why?” Nicki returned, to which the man responded with a shrug.
“First of all, because you filmed it,” he stated, prompting the rapper to respond, “Because I filmed it?”
“Yes, he doesn’t believe you don’t have more than you say,” the Amsterdam Airport representative explained.
“No, he asked me ‘do I have anything else in those bags’ and I said no, and I asked him where my bags are,” Nicki replied.
She continued, “They took my bags and put them on the plane before I knew which bags were on the plane.”
But the man responded with another shrug, adding, “I’m sorry about that.”
“Okay, sure,” Nicki responded before ending the video.
The rapper captioned her post: “They trying to stop me from going to every show.
“They took my bags before I could see them. I put them on the plane. Now I’m saying they’re waiting at customs,” she said.
“This is what happens when people get paid a lot of money to try to sabotage a tour after everything has failed. Everything they did is illegal.”
Fans filled the post’s comments with support for Nicki, who is currently traveling on her Gag City tour.
Many coined the phrase “Free Nicki”, while others pleaded with the airport not to “mess with the Queen”.
“Tell them they better stop this as soon as possible,” one begged.
“’Because you filmed it. What a lame excuse,” said a second.
“The Barbz brought you back. Keep moving forward and don’t let them ruin your day!” a third gushed.
“This is crazy!” a fourth raged.
“They should never have messed with the Queen!!!!!!! You are the Queen!!!!!” a fifth supported.
“Absolutely terrible! I’m so sorry Onika, may this be happy for you. We love you and protect you forever,” wrote another.
Before the alleged arrest, Nicki was also quick to post on X, formerly Twitter, about her shocking experience at Amsterdam airport.
