Solange Knowles Has Run-In With Cops and A Banana Balloon

Soon to be aunt, Solange Knowles had quite the crazy weekend while her sister Beyoncé revealed her pregnancy to the world.

Apparently, Solange got mixed up in an altercation with police in Miami that included a club, a knife and a giant banana balloon…

Here’s the situation according to her rep:

Solange and two friends went to a club where they got their hands on a large banana shaped balloon that they were planning on giving to a friend’s child the next day.

They then took a cab to another club, but the bouncer at the front entrance told them they could not bring the balloon inside.

“They decided to go across the street to deflate the balloon, where they encountered two police officers who had casual, light-hearted conversation with them,” says Knowles’ rep. “One officer pulled out a switchblade and threatened to pop the balloon. They felt it was inappropriate, but the turning point happened when he then took out the switchblade a second time with the blade open and said to them, ‘I don’t find the humor in this, anymore.’”

The cop then “forcefully” asked the group to move and implied that they should cross the street even thought there was oncoming traffic.

The rep adds, “Solange then asked the officer what was it that they did wrong, and he forcefully responded again to move. When a taxi pulled up, they got in and headed home. Solange made a series of calls to report the incident and was told to be prepared to be arrested when she came in to report the incident if her story was false.”

Reportedly, Knowles is actively filing a report and has not decided whether to take legal action or not.

Solange released a statement saying, “Never once during the incident did I even raise my voice, I feel very strongly about standing up for myself when something is wrong, and am very disappointed in the way that the Miami [Beach] Police Department has handled this case.”

The Miami Beach Police Department has a different story, saying that it was Solange who had become unruly when she was denied access to the club and the police had to take her to the other side of the street to calm her down.

They claim she was loudly complaining that she was refused access to the club due to racial reasons.

Officer Juan Sanchez of the MBPD says, “The whole entire incident was about the fact that she was not allowed in a club. And when she became abusive, she was pulled to the side. There was no mention of a gun. Considering it might be an internal investigation, I can’t tell you much other than that.”
