Nicki had been due to land in Manchester for the opening UK show of her 'Friday Night 2' world tour. However, the gig was cancelled at the last minute after she was held by police in Amsterdam.
A statement explained: "Nicki Minaj’s scheduled performance at Manchester’s Co-op Live on Saturday 25th May has been postponed. Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled performance which will be announced ASAP.
"Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight’s show happen, the events of today have made it impossible. We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused. More information will be available at your point of purchase."
