In other weird and wacky news! Solange Knowles claims to have been mistreated by the cops due to a 5 foot inflatable banana! The incident took place this past Sunday. While the whole world were gushing over her big sisters bundle of joy surprise...she was getting denied access into a club. Solange was seen tweeting: “A police officer just pulled a weapon on me… I have done NOTHING illegal, against the law, or anything of the sort...I am simply tired of police using arrogance, ego and authority as an offense.”
They always say there's three sides to a story, your side, their side, and the truth. Well that is clearly what is going on here!
A Miami detective told E! News:
"The whole entire incident was about the fact that she was not allowed in a club. 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,”
However, that's not how Solange see's it! Apparently she and her friends were at another club prior to the incident where they acquired the inflatable banana. They chose to keep the banana so they could give it to a friend's child the next day.
After leaving the first club with the banana they then proceeded to go to Club Cameo, still with the banana. They denied her and her friends access because they would not let her in with the banana. So apparently after getting denied access they decided to go across the street to deflate the banana in order to gain entry into the club. While doing this she claims the cops started to harass them.
E! News reported what Solange's rep had to say about the whole situation:
"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," Knowles' rep states. "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 blade was less than a couple feet away from Solange and her friends."
The officer proceeded to "forcefully" ask them to move, gesturing that they cross the street though there was oncoming traffic, the rep continues.
"Solange then asked the officer what was it that they did wrong, and he forcefully responded again to move," she told E! News. "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. Solange simply wanted to report that the officer pulled out a weapon, when she had done nothing illegal, disruptive or belligerent."
"Solange is actively filing a report and has not yet decided on further legal action," her rep concluded.
