The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee shared a post on X around the time of arrest, stating, "We have just released a 41-year-old American woman who we arrested this afternoon at Schiphol on suspicion of exporting soft drugs. After consultation with the Public Prosecution Service, the suspect was fined and can continue her journey."

Minaj, whose legal name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, was instructed to get into their vehicle so she could be transported to the police station and initially refused, saying, "I’m not going in there. I need a lawyer present," and expressed concern about missing her show in Manchester. 

She eventually entered the vehicle and an official was heard telling her that he would "try to get [her] there" as soon as possible.

After the live video ended, Minaj shared another video to Instagram of a conversation with a man informing her that her bags needed to be searched.

The official told Minaj that they did a "random, quick check" before her luggage boarded her private plane, but because she "filmed" the officer, they wanted to do a more in-depth search.

She posted on X, saying "now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls," adding, "Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him. Oh yea & the pilot wants me to take my ig post down."
