The Starships singer - who played the Barclaycard Wireless Festival in London at the weekend -  insisted she was touched too much, however did not name the airport where the incident took place.

She said on Twitter on Monday that she was fondled by a female security guard.

The entertainer was angered at how she was treated and even posted a photo of the woman who was patting her down via the micro-blogging website.

She tweeted: "Pretty sure I was just overtly fondled @ this check point. By a very old lady w/an accent. Word?"

Adding that she was taking photos of the situation, Minaj was even more upset that the security told her not to take photos of them after the incident.

She wrote: "So TSA always takes pics of me while doing their job! But would u believe they just told ME EYE couldn't take pics???? Wow."

Minaj apparently has made it through security and headed for a stop in Dubai before going on to her next concert location.
