*Former NFLer Michael Irvin mocked his son’s rap career while talking about troubled NBA player Ja Morant.
During a segment on the latest episode of Skip Bayless’ FS1 show “Undisputed,” the former Dallas Cowboys receiver said his son Elijah’s moniker is “Tut Tarantino” and he raps about his fake “thug life.”
“I got a son. He raps. His rap name is Tut Tarantino. 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,” Irvin said,” Complex reports.
“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.”
We reported previously that Irvin has joined the rotating A-list hosts on FS1’s “Undisputed” following Shannon Sharpe’s departure from the show over the summer.

According to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, Irvin, along with former NFL stars Richard Sherman and Keyshawn Johnson join Skip Bayless in a new format of the show. “Undisputed” returned on Aug. 28 with a philosophy that moves away from the previous “embrace debate” format, NBC News reported.
Irvin, Sherman, and Johnson joined “Undisputed” after Sharpe officially parted ways with Bayless in June.
Meanwhile, during an appearance on the “Dan Patrick Show” in 2019, Irvin said his son “raps about some of the hardest stuff in the world.”
“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.”
