After her release, Minaj took to Twitter, claiming the events were due to “sabotage.” She explained that police allegedly found marijuana in her bag, which she asserted belonged to one of her security guards. “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.”
Despite the incident, Minaj is out of detainment and continuing her European tour, set to conclude in July.
