New England Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco is deep-sixing (or should we say, deep-seis-ing?) his made-up last name. And he’s doing it for the sake of his reality TV-star fiancée.
Chad Ochocinco, born Chad Javon Johnson, revealed his latest name-change plans in response to a fan’s Twitter mention, a Sports Illustrated blog reports.
“I just notice (sic) I got bout 5 @ochocinco jerseys signed sitting on the wall,” the fan said in a tweet.
“Take them down, i’ll be Johnson on july 4th,” Chad Ochocinco/Johnson replied in a retweet, according to SI.
Some may be skeptical about Ochocinco’s claim.
