Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin publicly addressed his son’s rap career, mentioning it during a segment on the FS1 show “Undisputed.”
Irvin’s son, who goes by the name Tut Tarantino, was brought up in a discussion related to Ja Morant.
According to Irvin, his son raps about a life he hasn’t actually experienced and points out that he “grew up in a gated community” throughout his childhood.
“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. But he’s rapping my life. Because 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. Now, we’ve gotten to a place somehow where we’re running back towards it. In the music, in everything.”
Irvin has previously discussed his son’s rap career and how his son adopted a fake persona as Tut Tarantino during a 2019 appearance on the Dan Patrick Show.
“He raps about some of the hardest stuff in the world,” Irvin said. “I say to him, ‘Son, you grew up in a 20,000 square foot. Gated community! Where does this stuff come from?'”
Irvin added, “I worked hard to get you out of this, and you’re rapping right back to it.”
