- Kyrie Irving shared quite the take on Twitter on Monday.
- NBA fans were quick to call him out for his ridiculous statement.

Kyrie Irving signed a four-year, $136 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets ahead of the 2019 season. He’s made millions of dollars off the court as well, most notably from Nike who created a signature shoe with him years ago.
In other words, Irving is extremely wealthy. Like every other superstar athlete, Irving is among the 1% when it comes to wealth. He’s also among the 1% when it comes to sharing asinine thoughts and comments.
Irving fired off his latest ridiculous statement on Monday morning when he jumped on Twitter asking why he has to pay to live on Earth.
I thought Mother Earth belonged to the people. Why am I paying to live here? 🤷🏾♂️
Oh let me guess, “because that’s just how things are”.
Lol FOH

There is being out of touch, and then there is Kyrie Irving.
The very rich athlete complaining about having to pay his rent or mortgage while the inflation rate is the highest it’s been since the 1980s and the average cost of a gallon of gas in the United States is over $5.00 is a horrific look for Irving.
Irving’s tweet sparked a nerve with anyone that possesses common sense on Twitter. He was absolutely torched for his ridiculous statement.
