Nicki Minaj was quickly released on Saturday after being detained by Dutch law enforcement for her alleged involvement in exporting soft drugs, authorities said.
The 41-year-old famous rapper faced no fines and was allowed to resume traveling, according to a translated police statement just before 4 p.m.
Minaj, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj Petty, was en route from Amsterdam to Manchester, England, for a performance as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour when the incident occurred. The concert, which she was due to take to the stage at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday night, has been postponed, Live Nation UK confirmed.
“Despite Nicki’s tireless efforts to explore every option to make tonight’s show possible, today’s events have made this impossible,” the company said. “We are deeply disappointed at the inconvenience this has caused.”

Ticket holders were reassured that their tickets would remain valid for the postponed concert.
