Nicki Minaj Arrested, Fined in Amsterdam for Carrying Marijuana

[frejasface]

😩 now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls. 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.

they arrested people for weed in a place where its legal?

Even if weed is legal, travelling cross country with it isn't, and she's going to a country where it isn't legal.

[nsync]

ohh i thought she was going there, in that case atleast manchester is safe for now

[littlepunkryo]

Even if she was going to Amsterdam you aren't allowed to take it into airports and fly with it. You buy it there, you leave it there and get more on the other side of the trip.

She is not very smart. First she insinuates they may plant things in her bag. Then she says weed is legal in Amsterdam as if she is conceding she has some but shouldn’t be cited for it. That’s before she then said it’s her security’s.

And as people have noted - just because something is legal in a particular country does not mean you can transport it across country borders. A fine is getting off light tbh

The fact that there are still deluded people out there who are her fans...

"they took my bags without my consent"

Literally how airport security works

[sandstorm]

You consent when you walk in the door girl

[fauxkaren]

lol that's the part that got me.

like yeah... they did... that's what they always do when searching bags.

[pciam]

Right. Like anyone is going to willingly allow you to search their bags if they have something that could get them in trouble lol

[a_files06]

I mean....since when does security ask for permission to take ones bag at an airport?

They didnt ask me "can I please go through your luggage, throw all of your clothes out, bring over a drug sniffing dog, so we can see if you have anything illegal on you?" No.

And why would your bodyguard have their weed in your luggage?

Also....why did you cancel your concert if you were let out in time? Or did I miss something there?

And why would your bodyguard have their weed in your luggage?

This immediately reminded me of the warning given in basically every travelling 101 ever: Don't agree to transport someone else's things in your luggage, they might use you for smuggling drugs or other prohibited items 😅 (disclaimer: which is not a laughing matter and something serious to look out for. Just laughing at Nicki's excuses here.)
