Nicki Minaj Reschedules Manchester Concert After Being Arrested in Amsterdam

English professional football club Bolton Wanderers has announced that Congolese player Fabrice Muamba has retired from playing professional football. Following extensive consultations with cardiologists in both the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US), Muamba’s medical team made the recommendation that he stop playing.

Award-winning female rapper and singer Nicki Minaj has released a new date for her postponed Manchester show.

The rap sensation updated her fans on social media on Monday on the cancellation of her May 25 performance at Manchester’s Co-Op Live, which was caused by her arrest in Amsterdam for allegedly carrying drugs

“OK guys, I was JUST RE-ADVISED that we actually CAN NOT do any other date for the make up #gagcityMANCHESTER date besides JUNE 3rd,” Minaj posted on X (formerly Twitter)

“So JUNE 3rd is the new official date for all ticket holders who originally had tickets to the MAY 25th #Manchester show. I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. I really hope you can make the #JUNE3rd show. It’ll be really special. Ticketmaster will contact you to advise officially,” she added.

The Super Bass rapper was freed from Dutch police detention on Saturday, May 25, only a few hours after filming her arrest for allegedly “carrying drugs” by Amsterdam police. The singer then had to cancel her Pink Friday 2 Tour performance in Manchester.

On Saturday night, Minaj posted an update on X, stating that she had arrived in Manchester after “sitting in a jail cell for 5–6 hours.”

“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,” she wrote.
