Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin exposed his son for having a fraudulent hip-hop persona during a recent appearance on FS1's 'Undisputed' last week.
Irvin, 57, was discussing Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant's recent string of off-the-court incidents and compared the NBA star's projected actions to his son, Elijah, 25, who raps under the moniker, 'Tut Tarantino.'
“I've got a son. He raps. His rap name is Tut Tarantino,” Irvin said. “If you ever listen to some of his raps, I’m like, ‘Oh my god. Where does this come from, son? You grew up in a gated community your whole life.'
"But he's rapping my life cause we romanticize and fantasize about that ol' 'thug life,' 'ghetto life' and all of that stuff when we used to work to get away from it, now we've gotten to a place somehow where we're running back towards it in the music and everything."
Journalist Van Lathan claimed he reached out to Elijah Irvin to discuss the situation and was told by the 25-year-old that he is currently "a multi-use facility for substance abuse" and set to be released in about 45 days.
"So, I reached out to Michael Irvin’s son Tut Tarantino to do @Higher_Learning. He told me he was free in about 45 days … HE’S IN A TEXAS PRISON. Looks like it’s a multi-use facility for substance abuse, but definitely A PRISON. @TutTarantino," Lathan wrote on his X account, sharing a screengrab of a Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate information page matching a 25-year-old named Elijah Irvin.
Irvin signed for more than $17 million in contracts alone during his Hall of Fame NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys and has since contributed to ESPN, NFL Network and FOX Sports as one of football's most recognizable analysts.
