Nicki Minaj has apologized to fans after postponing a concert in Manchester following her arrest in the Netherlands.
The rapper, 41, was due to play the city's Co-op Live arena on Saturday, but had to cancel at the last minute after she was held on suspicion of exporting drugs.
She was fined €350 (£300; $380) by Dutch police and allowed to continue her journey.
Announcing that she would now play the Manchester venue next Monday, she posted on social media: "I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. I really hope you can make the June 3rd show. It'll be really special."
Minaj said she spent five to six hours in custody, before being allowed to fly from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.
Dutch prosecutors told local media she was carrying 30 to 100 grams of cannabis - but Minaj said "the pre-rolls" belonged to her security guard.
It is technically against the law to possess, sell or produce drugs in the Netherlands. But the country operates a policy of tolerance towards the sale or possession of small amounts of some drugs.
