Chad Ochocinco has urged Shannon Sharpe to take action against Kim Kardashian as he encouraged the former NFL tight end to take a page out of Travis Kelce’s book.
During the latest episode of their podcast ‘Nightcap with Unc and Ocho’ this week, Johnson revealed how Kelce’s relatively fresh romance with Taylor Swift inspired him to come up with the suggestion because he thinks ‘Kim K’ might be the ‘perfect’ one . person for Sharpe.
‘You’re not leaving, are you, old lady? And I told you I searched and looked and talked to some people,” said Johnson, who often changed his last name to “Ochocinco” while wearing jersey number 85 during his playing days.
‘I saw Kim (Kardashian), like she said, ‘Oh, I’m looking for an older man after my divorce from Pete Davidson and I thought, ‘Oh s***, that’s crazy.’
Kardashian, 42, dated the former SNL member, who is 13 years her junior, for nine months before going their separate ways in August 2022.

“Lord, have mercy,” Sharpe, 55, said before putting his head down and bursting into laughter.
Johnson was adamant in his assessment that both Sharpe and Kardashian would be a good fit because they are both “focused and busy” in their own lives and careers.
But Sharpe clarified that he doesn’t want any beef with Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West, when Johnson asked his opinion on the suggestion.
“Man, Kanye ain’t gonna write a diss track about me,” Sharpe joked, to which Johnson replied that “Kanye is out of the picture right now.”
West and Kardashian, who share four children in North, 10, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, were married for eight years.
They settled for divorce in November 2022 and less than a month after that, West, 46, married Bianco Censori, reportedly a 28-year-old architect.

“Think about what happened to Travis Kelce,” Johnson said, referring to the Chiefs tight end, expressing his desire to meet Swift publicly on his “New Heights” podcast.
“Taylor Swift came into his life and everything skyrocketed exponentially. Think about Kim and that entity can do it themselves for Club Shay Shay.”
Then Sharpe, who couldn’t stop laughing at the thought of Johnson’s idea, referenced Kardashian’s comments on the latest episode of her family’s reality TV show, in which she said she was looking for a man who was “a little more appropriate for the age’. ‘
“(She) said she was looking for someone in their 40s. Obviously I’m not in my 40s,” Sharpe said.
Johnson then told the three-time Super Bowl champion that he looks much younger for his age.
“I have no excuse other than visibility,” Sharpe said. ‘I’m too private. I wish her the best and most beautiful.’
Johnson disagreed with his podcast partner.

“You need to reconsider this because you’re not thinking straight right now,” the former wideout said, to which Sharpe responded, “If I dated Kim Kardashian, man, we’ll wake up tomorrow and ‘Unc and Ocho’ would have two million subscribers.”
Johnson saw no problem with that.
“Kim, I know you’re going to see this,” he said. “Listen, chess isn’t chess, Mom, with all due respect.”
Sharpe praised the head of the Kardashian clan, Kris Jenner, for building the family’s business ventures, and wished them nothing but more success in the future.
Kardashian, on the other hand, has revealed that she is “totally okay with being myself for a while and that the right situation will come my way.” Earlier this month, the American socialite was seen serving as a juror at a California courthouse.
