Beyoncé appears to be turning recent boycott threats into "Lemonade," with merchandise on her Formation Tour profiting from Miami police criticism against her.

As some fans pointed out Wednesday night, the singer is selling T-shirts with the words "Boycott Beyoncé" printed on the front at her show tonight in Miami, the opening show of her tour.

Following the Beyoncé's performance at the Super Bowl in February, the president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police accused the singer of trying to "divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her antipolice message."

Beyoncé clarified in an interview earlier this month she is not anti-police. "I have so much admiration and respect for officers and the families of officers who sacrifice themselves to keep us safe," she said. "But let’s be clear: I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things."

Despite the threats not to provide security for tonight's show, Miami New Times reported earlier today the event will indeed be fully staffed by police.
