Lily Allen posts bizarre tribute to Muhammad Ali, sharing moment butterfly lands on her arm
Lily Allen shared an odd tribute to Muhammad Ali as she entertained her children in a butterfly house.
The mum-of-two posted a clip of her with the beautiful insect landing on her arm and she likening it to the boxing legend who sadly died aged 74 on Friday.
But as she tried to recite his famous quote she began with: “Dance like a butterfly…” instead of “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.”
Sporting bright purple hair and a camera slung round her neck, Lily smiled at the touching moment as she spoke with her children who were just out of sight.

It was only earlier this year that Lily found herself in hot water when she appeared to throw shade at Rita Ora following her personal tribute to Prince who died aged 57.
Rita penned a lengthy post honouring the late star, who passed away at his Paisley Park mansion in Minneapolis, and the Smile singer responded by asking if she had a picture to prove she actually knew him in person.
Rita wrote: “This is coming from a place I never new existed in my heart. You were so special to me your presence the music we created the dance-off’s we used to have the laughing we shared.
“The funk oozing out of you was uncontrollable. I’m not quite sure what to do with myself but I will miss you forever and always. I love you my dear kind friend.

I love you P. I will never forget you.
“Love your Rita.”

After coming under fire from Rita fans, Lily added: “I didn’t mean that in a mean way, I’m just jealous you were so close to my idol. #superfan #ritabots go IN.”
