“Why?”asked Minaj, and the man’s reply was,

First of all, because you filmed him and he was like – He doesn’t believe you don’t have more with you than you said.

They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show. They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to attempt to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal

Next, Minaj stated that they found weed in her luggage and that another group of people, who were not there yet, had to come in and weigh the drugs to verify they were not over the allowed limit. Since those who were going to weigh the drugs were not on the scene yet, Minaj alleged that this was all done to make her late for the show.
She also stated that the pilot asked her to take down her Instagram post. You can read Minaj’s ranthere.
