Chad’s Ochocinco (who’s real last name is Johnson) is the brother of R&B vocalist Syleena Johnson! Are you surprised? Well, so were they! The two JUST found out they were siblings. People were curious as to what the relation was between the two because Chad made a cameo appearance in her new video “A Boss” off of her last album entitled Chapter V: Underrated.
Syleena made the big announcement during her interview with Philly’s Power 99 Jonesy in the Morning show some time last year. She would not go into details because Chad wants to keep the details private to protect those involved. She said they are not close though. By the way, Syleena’s dad is famous blues singer Syl Johnson. Artists such as Wu Tang Clan, Public Enemy, and the Geto Boys to name a few have sampled his songs.
Recently, Syl Johnson brought a lawsuit against Kanye West and “Watch the Throne” for using an unauthorized sample for the song, “The Joy.” Ironically, Syleena Johnson performed on the song “All Falls Down,” with Kanye. Fast forward to the 4:00 mark.
