Nicki Minaj has issued an apology to her fans after postponing her Manchester concert due to her arrest in the Netherlands.

The 41-year-old rapper was scheduled to perform at Co-op Live arena but was detained on suspicion of drug exportation.

Minaj was fined €350 (£300; one dollar 380) by Dutch authorities and permitted to continue her journey.

She announced on social media that the concert would now take place on June 3rd and expressed hope that her fans could still attend.

Dutch prosecutors reported that Minaj was carrying 30 to 100 grams of cannabis, which she claimed belonged to her security guard.

Approximately 20,000 fans at the arena were disappointed by the sudden cancellation.

Minaj continued her Pink Friday 2 world tour in Birmingham the following night, thanking fans for their support.
