Former NFL star Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson got emotional while discussing his daughter Chade’s recent pledge to Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) sorority.
On his podcast Nightcap, co-hosted by Shannon Sharpe, Ochocinco shared his experience attending the Prairie View A&M University probate.
“I ain’t never been in no atmosphere like that…being inside that auditorium and watching the energy in that atmosphere, I ain’t never seen nothing like that. That kind of energy, that kind of passion, that kind of love and support from all the sororities all the fraternities…it felt like a family reunion.”
Ochocinco’s emotions peaked when the AKAs took the stage. “The AKAs went last…they came out, it was like…you know how the audience go crazy and everybody stand up and go crazy when Michael Jackson come out on stage…and I seen my baby…ooh sh*t I’m bout to cry…when I seen my baby strutting and hitting that stroll…that was one of the greatest feelings.”
Addressing his daughter directly, he said, “…Chade I know you probably watching, yo mama watching. I like that, you made your daddy proud, you made yo daddy cry tonight.”
The proud dad has eight children with seven different women. He and his fiancée, Sharelle Rosado welcomed their daughter Serenity Paula Johnson on January 2, 2022.
During an interview on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast with Shannon Sharpe, Chad was asked if he was done expanding his family or if he was trying to compete with Nick Cannon.
“No,” he said indicating he’s not finished having kids. “I think what people fail to realize is I was Nick Cannon before Nick Cannon. I was Future before Future. Sometimes, I don’t get upset, but I’m like why they don’t ever lump me in.”
“I’m so active with mine. You see me with mine all the time. All of ’em,” he added. “When we go somewhere we all go as one lil’ army so I’m never lumped into that category.”
