In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Nicki Minaj recalled an incident with a plainclothes police officer at a Dubai airport in December, after her concert. "I almost got in so much trouble because the guys in Dubai are so cute … When we were leaving, there was this one guy who was so cute. I was just like: 'Bye' … I didn't know that he was a cop! It was at a private airport so they were just dressed in regular garments. I went to give him a hug and I felt like time stopped in Dubai. Everyone in my team thought I was gonna be put in jail! It was the scariest thing but he cracked this nervous smile, and I was like: 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry!' and then I just left." * The National staff
