Nicki Minaj Alleges She Was "Overtly Fondled" by Airport Security

ABC/TIM OGIERNicki Minaj was on her way to the Philippines on Monday, but before she could board her flight, Nicki says she found herself dealing with a handsy official from the Transportation Security Administration.  The leader of the Barbz tweeted about the encounter, writing, "Pretty sure I was just overtly fondled @ this check point. By a very old lady w/an accent. Word?"

Nicki snagged a photo of the woman and posted it to Twitter, but the YMCMB star's picture-taking didn't go unnoticed by security officials.  After being told not to take photos, Nicki tweeted, "So TSA always takes pics of me while doing their job! But wld u believe they just told ME EYE couldn't take pics???? Wow. ?#luckyIMsick."

Nicki will be back in the U.S. later this month, doing a July 16 show in Chicago.
