Nicki Minaj promises Manchester fans her rescheduled show will be 'really special'

Nicki Minaj has assured her Manchester fans that her make-up show will be "really special".

The Pound the Alarm hitmaker was forced to postpone her concert at Manchester's Co-op Live on Saturday after being detained by police in the Netherlands for allegedly carrying drugs.

The rapper took to X/Twitter on Monday to reveal the new date for her show and apologise once again for the inconvenience.

"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," she wrote. "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."

Nicki's fans were inside the arena waiting for her to perform on Saturday when they were told she wouldn't be taking to the stage.

The 41-year-old claimed on social media that authorities deliberately sabotaged her attempts to make the show.

"After sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours, my plane still didn't take off for another 20 mins once I boarded," she raged. "The flight was 50 mins. 50 mins. That's why they had to do the big song & dance b/c they knew I'd still find a way to perform even if it came down to my last 90 mins in the building which would have been until 1130pm. The building was willing to go past 11pm. So grateful to them for that."

She added, "Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies. They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today but this too, shall pass."

Nicki will also perform in Manchester on Thursday 30 May as part of the Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

She will take to the stage at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday night.
