Nicki Minaj is ready to go above and beyond to show her appreciation to her fans after being detained abroad.
She canceled her performance in Manchester just 30 minutes before showtime over the weekend.
This unexpected change prompted Dutch authorities to detain her for alleged "possession of soft drugs."
According to sources close to the "Super Bass" hitmaker, she reportedly was eager to show her appreciation to her devoted fans, some of whom had journeyed from various parts of the country just to attend her performance.
They told The Sun, "[Minaj] is in pieces and knows her fans have badly been let down."
"She knows her British fans spent a lot of money on coming to that show, and her team is working non-stop to reschedule it."
They added, "[Minaj] understands why they are upset and is determined to make it up to them. She likes to speak to her fans on a personal level. [Minaj] wants to make it right."
Minaj's highly awaited performance at the Co-op Live venue in Manchester, drawing a massive crowd of enthusiastic fans, was unexpectedly rescheduled after police took the mom-of-one into custody in the Netherlands just before the show.
The 41-year-old rapper was detained upon arrival at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam due to suspicions of carrying illegal substances.
Despite the "Anaconda" singer's detainment, concertgoers were allowed access to the indoor venue where the concert was taking place.
Following 5:15 PM local time, a message appeared on the venue's social media account.
"Please note that general admission and premium doors for tonight's Nicki Minaj show will now open at 19:00."
But after finally arriving in Manchester late Saturday night, she took the opportunity to apologize to her fans.
Minaj said on X, formerly Twitter, "Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today. May God cover you and all that is connected to you. May you be blessed beyond your imagination."
"Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies."
After her detainment, Minaj was freed shortly before 9 PM with the requirement to settle an unspecified penalty for the act of "illegally exporting soft drugs from the Netherlands to another country."
Despite being freed, she missed her chance to arrive in Manchester promptly. Instead, during the early morning of Sunday, she shared a live video on Instagram from Manchester, capturing a group of enthusiastic fans gathered in the street below.
