Former NFL star Michael Irvin had fans laughing at his son for a few days after calling him out during a segment on ‘Undisputed’.
The Hall of Famer was discussing the Ja Morant saga with Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson when he used his son as an example.
“I 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.
“He’s rapping my life. Cause we romanticize and fantasize about that old 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, we’re running back towards it: in the music, in everything.”
Social media got a real kick out of the “gated community” bit and the trolling was brutal.
But some new information has come to light since Irvin’s comments went viral. Apparently, his son is locked up.

Irvin had a checkered football career and struggled with drug addiction during his playing days. He allegedly also came close to killing a former teammate in 1998, stabbing him in the neck with a pair of scissors that barely missed his carotid artery.
Irvin has since turned his life around and is a devout Christian. He credits T.D. Jakes and Deion Sanders for helping him change his life; he must be hoping his son could do the same in due time.
