Despite the fact that Solange Knowles’s run-in with a Miami Beach Police officer this weekend involved a five-foot banana balloon, the singer and her reps aren’t treating the situation any less seriously. Her reps have released a statement clarifying that the weapon pulled on her by an officer was a switchblade.

Yesterday the police department sent out a press release saying that Knowles was denied admission to the Cameo nightclub on Washington Avenue in South Beach because she was carrying the inflatable banana, but Knowles apparently thought the reason was racial. . .
