The rap superstar, 41, took to social media on Monday (May 27) to provide her fans, known as the Barbz, with an important update regarding her May 25 show at Manchester’s Co-Op Live. This concert was canceled following her arrest in Amsterdam for allegedly carrying drugs.

“OK guys, I was JUST RE-ADVISED that we actually CAN NOT do any other date for the make up #gagcityMANCHESTER date besides JUNE 3rd,” Minaj announced on X (formerly known as Twitter).

She continued, “So JUNE 3rd is the new official date for all ticket holders who originally had tickets to the MAY 25th #Manchester show. I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. I really hope you can make the #JUNE3rd show. It’ll be really special. Ticketmaster will contact you to advise officially.”

On the same day as the postponed concert (May 25), the “Super Bass” rapper was released from police custody in the Netherlands just hours after she recorded herself being arrested by Amsterdam authorities for allegedly “carrying drugs.” This unforeseen event forced Minaj to delay her Manchester concert, part of her Pink Friday 2 Tour.

“Despite Nicki’s best efforts to explore every possible avenue to make tonight’s show happen, the events of today have made it impossible,” promoter Live Nation stated on Saturday. “We are deeply disappointed by the inconvenience this has caused.”

After enduring “5-6 hours” in a jail cell before arriving in Manchester, Minaj provided another update in a post on X on Saturday night.

“We will have another date for tonight’s show shortly & I’ll probably be able to share it tmrw,” she wrote. “One July option & one June option is currently being discussed. I’ll find a way to not only make up the date with the performance but I’m going to create an added bonus for everyone that had a tkt for this show. Promise.”

In a gesture to connect with her fans, the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper also shared her hotel location and invited local fans to stop by and say hello.

“Barbz, I’m going on the balcony so if you’re outside I’ll be able to see you & I may come downstairs,” she wrote. “I’ll be out there for about an hour. Rlly wanted to at least get to see you. But if you’re in bed plz STAY THERE.”

Through these updates, Minaj reassured her fans of her commitment to making it up to them and promised a memorable experience at the rescheduled concert.
