Michael Irvin says a relative who bought him sneakers in eighth grade has lived rent-free in his house for 30 years, and still calls asking for new cabinets
“The white fans, they got every dime of their money, they don’t worry about none of that. I got 16 brothers. I own seven homes in Florida right now, and I got seven relatives in them and they won’t leave.”
“They ain’t paid rent in 30 years. And they’ll call me: ‘Michael, we need some new cabinets in the house.’ You’ve been standing there 30 years, ain’t paid no rent, what are you doing?”
“Because our family feels, ‘Remember, I brought you some sneakers in the eighth grade, you should be able to get me this house.’ Like, that was sneakers. Why do I gotta get you a house?”
