The arrest led to the cancellation of the Manchester show of her Pink Friday 2 world tour. Live Nation said in a statement: “Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore all options to make tonight’s performance possible, today’s events have made this impossible. We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused.”
Minaj claimed on social media that the arrests were part of a plot to sabotage the tour: “They are trying to stop me from coming to all the shows,” she wrote. Instagram“They took my luggage before I even saw it and loaded it onto the plane. Now they say it’s waiting at customs. This is what it looks like when people who are paid big bucks to sabotage a tour after everything else has failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.”
