Former NFL player and ESPN pundit Michael Irvin’s rapper son has been arrested and jailed, here is what happened to Tut Tarantino aka Elijah Irvin who is in jail
Michael Irvin and his son have been into the headlines these days. It’s just three days ago when the former NFL player had called out his son for fake lyrics into his rap songs. The rapper son is again grabbing the news for being arrested and ending up in jail.
Rapper Tut Tarantino aka Elijah Jeremiah Irvin son of Michael Irvin is allegedly in jail for substance abuse
One fan on X (formerly known as Twitter) claims that Tut Tarantino is doing a 45-day sentence for drug usage in a Texas prison and will be released soon, a report in Black Sports Online outlet suggests. The user stated:
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.”

Irvin had recently exposed his son on live TV for fabricating in his rap that he was impoverished and lived in a poor. On a recent episode of FS1’s “Undisputed,” co-host Irvin did something most parents would hope to never have to do: he publicly reprimanded their rapper son for making the family seem awful. Irvin called out his son in an Undisputed interview, saying:
“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 further said:
But he’s rapping my life because romanticise and fantasies that old thug life, ghetto life and all that stuff. When we used to work to get away from it, we’ve now somehow gotten to a place we’re running back towards it.”
The video soon went viral on the social media. While talking about Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant’s recent spate of off-court issues, the 57-year-old Irvin, likened the NBA player’s predicted behaviour to that of his 25-year-old son Elijah, who raps under the alias “Tut Tarantino.”
