Nicki Minaj accuses airline of ‘trying to sabotage’ 2024 tour over luggage issue in video of argument with crew member
NICKI Minaj has accused an Amsterdam airport of trying to stop her from performing at her scheduled tour dates in a scathing new post.
The rapper filmed Amsterdam Airport Schipol employees as they forced her to send her bags through security a second time.
In the clip, Nicki, 41, filmed an airline crew member from the inside of her black vehicle.
The man, wearing a gray suit with a red tie, leaned into the car as she asked him to repeat himself for the camera.
“The police officer told me we have to offload all the luggage and to search everything of your luggage,” he explained.
“I’m so sorry to say that,” the airline representative added.
Nicki replied, “But wasn’t that what you planned on doing from the get-go? Why didn’t you guys search it before it went on the plane?”
The man responded, “They did just a random quick check, but now they want to open it.”
“Why?” the pop star asked, to which he replied with a shrug, “First of all, because you filmed him.”
Nicki asked, “Because I filmed him?”
“Yeah, he doesn’t believe you that you don’t have more with you than you say,” the airline rep explained.
“No, he asked me ‘do I have any more in those purses’ and I said no, and I asked him where are my bags,” the rapper said.
“They took my bags and put them on the plane before I could know what bags are on the plane.”
The airline crew member replied with another shrug, saying, “I’m so sorry for that.”
“Okay, of course,” Nicki quipped back as the video cut out.

In several posts, she claimed, “They’ve been trying everything they possibly can to try to stop this tour.
“They took my luggage & when I asked where it is they said it’s on the plane. It couldn’t have been, I just pulled up.
“I never gave them my bags. They’re refusing to let me see my own bags.
This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.

“All b/c I fired mngmnt who I found out for years were adding on 30-50K on my jet & pocketing it.

“They’re trying to keep me from MANCHESTER. Still in my car. They took my luggage w/o consent. Lied & said it was on the jet,” she closed.
