Via NYPost This pigeon ruffled a few feathers — including its own — by trying to smuggle a cellphone to a jailbird. The high-tech carrier pigeon flew to the Combita prison in Colombia on a wing and a prayer and was caught outside with the device attached to its back. It was unclear who hatched the plan for the poor pigeon, which was grabbed by two guards who removed the little harness holding the phone. Prison officials said they are investigating which inmate was behind the birdbrained mission. Who the hell trained this pigeon?! Mike Tyson??? Image via Twitter

Lil Uzi Vert Tries To Put The Paws On Reese La Flare In California

Lil Uzi Vert Tried To Get It Popping At A Music Festival Lil Uzi Vert was at the Day N Nite music festival when he bumped into his foe, Reese La Flare. Reese, who recently dropped a diss toward Uzi, was on the other side of a wall made by security as Uzi frantically tried to get in Reese’s face. No hands were thrown but the Philly “rockstar” had some choice words for the man who accused him of stealing his persona.   Complex  dropped additional info on the foundation for the “beef” between the two rappers. Be careful who you drop a diss track to because you never know when you might bump into them in real life and how they might react . A few months back a rapper named Reese LaFlare unleashed a record titled “180secs” in an attempt to tear down Lil Uzi Vert. Recently, Uzi caught up with LaFlare at the Day N Night Music Festival around Irvine, Calif., and, well, this happened: Uzi is noticeably pissed and tries to get at LaFlare, but is held back by security. When he breaks free, he tries running back around, but is met by another wall of people who prevent the two men from coming to blows. It’s not the best look for Uzi, who spouts off an array of homophobic slurs at LaFlare before finally walking away. Then again, if someone is claiming that you stole their whole persona in order to get ahead like LaFlare does on “180secs” – “You took my shit and you cloned it, yeah / I need that back cause I own it, yeah” – you’d be hot too. Given the fact they’re both young and rap isn’t as violent as it used to be they’ll probably squash the beef and be on tour together by the end of the year. Image via Atlantic Records
