Flavor Flav has accidentally made a shout-out to George Pell because, the internet.

The US rapper seems to have been tricked into wishing the convicted sex abuser ‘a happy retirement’.

If you thought you'd heard every George Pell conviction reaction, hold up: there's one more. George Pell, meets the internet, meets trolls.

American hip hop star from the 90s 'Flavor Flav' has posted a short video tribute to the convicted child sex abuser via 'Cameo', an app that enables people to commission personalised messages from celebrities.
I just gotta say: happy retirement, my man, you know what I'm saying, for real.
There's more than 1,400 social media stars, musicians, athletes (and more!) who will send a shout out to you for a fee (in this case - $150).

"Yes I'm standing and I didn't fell, 'cause this message goes out to Geoooorge Pell. Booked By Tristan! "

For the fan, it's a win: a celebrity interaction. For trolls - it's a field day.
I know you ran the boys choir man. You know what I’m saying. All of the boys on the choir respected you, you know what I’m saying, they collected you, my man.
Flavor, who's star rose again recently for his VH1 reality shows, seemingly hasn't been following the Pell case. For now, the video remains on Flavor's Cameo page.
