These celebs never learn they are NOT above the rules and laws.

"I need a lawyer present" Girl, you're not in the US.

Dutch person here:
Beside the fact she started her show in the Netherlands over 2.5 hours late causing a lot of people to have to leave in the middle of her show because they needed to use public transport before the last trains of the day would go..
WITHOUT even as much as a simple apology or explanation...

She was caught with illegal substances in an INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
After she was confronted she was extremely disrespectful and even claimed the officers were "out to get her and that is was all planned beforehand"
She was rightfully arrested and lucky for her it was the Netherlands.
If she did this in a different country she would be arrested and thrown into jail for a long time.

The fact she is a "celebrity" doesn't mean she can break laws and treat people like she did.

Wtf is a lawyer even gonna do? 😂 Even with a lawyer present here in the U.S. you still get detained lady.

They were trying to sabotage her tour? Is she serious? Why the hell would the Dutch, or anybody else for that matter, give a f*** about her tour?

[jezrix]

Americans, remember your laws mean jack outside of the US. Period.

[bajalifeever]

Dutchmen police: This is not the US!!! Go inside the truck 😂😂

[catherineaiello]

NM should have cooperated. For whatever weird reason, Americans think our laws travel all over the world, they don’t.

[gregdcross]

She obviously showed her stupidity. Her legal rights she had in the USA stop once you leave the territory of THE USA. Also, the police don't give you a pass to go do your show.

Wake-up call. Europe doesn't give a 💩 about your perceived status. No one is sabotaging your tour. You got caught smuggling drugs. Europeans don't care if it's just a few joints. To them, it's smuggling no matter what. You made matters worse by filming it. They interpret that as you not taking the matter seriously.

as a dutch person the agent was as polite as i usually see. luckily there are still some actually ppl with brains in Amsterdam.

I read the title and immediately knew that she was going to be arrested for drug related charges.

[pbworld]

That Dutch officer was a lot politer than your average American officer.

[gartje]

I just read in the Dutch newspaper that Nicki Minaj was lucky that she was arrested in Amsterdam before her flight: in England she risked up to five years in prison

[xflip]

Oh yeah the Amsterdam Police department sure wanted to sabotage Nicki Minajs tour lol these ppl rly DO think everything is about them

[ryanmalone]

Glad to see the police were professional and treated her like anyone else. How embarrassing for America. She should be more respectful.

Basically you can't take any kind of drug on an airplane unless it's prescription by doctor and you really need it no matter wether you famous or poor

[alphaomega]

What reason would the nation of the Netherlands have to sabotage a concert in England? 😂😂😂

[dillardphilosophy]

Getting arrested for drugs in AMSTERDAM, a city which is famous for tolerance laws about drugs, is a weird kind of bucket list, but well done.

[rohithrajan]

They politely asked her to go inside the vehicle, imagine how the American police must’ve dealt with her
