RAPPER Nicki Minaj has left fans upset after she seemed to behave rude toward her dancers.
On Sunday, Nicki, 41, performed at the Resorts World Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
An attendee uploaded footage from the concert onto an online thread.
While on the arena stage, the Barbie World singer flaunted her flat tummy while wearing a white crop top.
She wore a purple bandana over her red-haired wig.
Her baggy denim jeans had tears from top to bottom.
Midway through her performance of Pink Friday Girls, which samples Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun, the hitmaker held the mic close as she strolled across the stage.
“Bring me the leopard scarf,” Nicki demanded in the nearly 30-second clip.
One of the backup dancers attempted to speak with her, but Nicki shook her head.
The backup dancer reached out with her arm before the rap star seemingly slapped her hand.
“Bring me my leopard scarf,” she demanded once more.
Nicki turned around, faced her back to the audience, and moved the mic away from her mouth.

Nicki Minaj’s Arrest
Details into Nicki Minai’s arrest in Amsterdam:
In late May, Nicki, 41, was arrested by police in The Netherlands for allegedly “carrying drugs” with her on a flight to England, according to local news station NU.nl.
“At this moment, she is in custody,” Robert van Kapel – a spokesperson for Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, the border police in charge of Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport – told The Independent.
Despite denying that she was toting anything illegal, the singer was told she needed to report to the police station, according to a live video captured on her Instagram.
In the clip, an individual told the songwriter that she “will get a lawyer at the office” and that they need her to go “as fast as possible.”
Nicki explained to fans in her Instagram Live that airport officials told her to “get into this police van and go into the precinct with no lawyer present.”
The rapper also claimed that someone who worked for the Amsterdam Airport security team asked that she make a “statement with no lawyer present” after they found “pre-rolls in bags” that they were “not authorized to take.”
Nicki took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to speak about the arrest.
“Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today. May God cover you & all that is connected to you. May you be blessed beyond your imagination,” Nicki tweeted.
“After sitting in a jail cell for 5-6 hours, my plane still didn’t take off for another 20 mins once I boarded. The flight was 50 mins. 50 mins.”
“Those dancers look terrified,” one claimed.
“Still trying to put on a good show, but [the dancers] sure as h**l are gonna do their damnest not to get in [Nicki]’s line of sight after the concert,” another suggested.
“Very unprofessional…..” a third wrote.
‘IN PIECES’
On Saturday, the hitmaker canceled the first night of her United Kingdom tour.
She canned her gig in Manchester about 30 minutes before she was supposed to hit the stage.
Nicki was held by Dutch police for allegedly “possessing soft drugs.”
The rapper was released in Amsterdam but she had to pay a fine.
A tour insider told The U.S. Sun that Nicki is determined to make it up to her fans, who traveled far to see her perform.
“Nicki is in pieces and knows her fans have badly been let down,” the source shared.
“She knows her British fans spent a lot of money on coming to that show, and her team is working non-stop to get it rescheduled.”
“Nicki understands why they are upset, and she is so determined to make it up to them,” the insider continued.
“She likes to speak to her fans on a personal level. Nicki wants to make it right.”
