Nicki Minaj Tells Full Story of Airport Arrest & Why Her Concert Was Postponed at Last Minute

Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today. May God cover you & all that is connected to you. May you be blessed beyond your imagination.
Barbz, I’m @ the stock exchange hotel in #Manchester I arrived a little over an hour ago.
After sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours, my plane still didn’t take off for another 20 mins once I boarded.
The flight was 50 mins.
50 mins.
That’s why they had to do the big song & dance b/c they knew I’d still find a way to perform even if it came down to my last 90 mins in the building which would have been until 1130pm. The building was willing to go past 11pm. So grateful to them for that.
So they succeeded at their plan to not let me get on that stage tonight. I succeeded @ getting to the root of it all by recording them & posting everything in real time. I have sooooooooo much video evidence. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.
I’ll have the lawyers & GOD take it from here tho.
Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies.
They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today but this too, shall pass.
They’ve been doing this over & over & over & over & over again & I’ve tried so hard to not discuss it b/c you guys deserve to just get the good stuff. I hate involving you in anything that isn’t for entertainment purposes only.
we will have another date for tonight’s show shortly & I’ll probably be able to share it tmrw. One July option & one June option is currently being discussed.
I’ll find a way to not only make up the date with the performance but I’m going to create an added bonus for everyone that had a tkt for this show. Promise.
I’ll STILL be performing at the 2nd #Manchester show on the 30th. 5 days away.
I’ll STILL be performing in #Birmingham tmrw
ok Barbz
Love you
