Chad Ochocinco breaks his silence about his breakup with fiancé, Sharelle Rosado. 

On the recent episode of his podcast Nightcap with co-host Shannon Sharpe, the former NFL star reportedly seemed shocked at the mention of Rosado’s name as Sharpe joked about him being in a “dungeon” or “basement.” Ochocinco shared that he was at a day party in Houston, to which Sharpe said, “I’d been on a flight back trying to fix that.” 

Ochocinco then responded and said, “Oh, I can’t because I’m- I’m just saying, I’m blocked. I don’t know what to do.” He continued, “If you live it publicly, you break up publicly? It’s OK. I can deal with that, though. Aye, unc, the stove is hot, boy. I won’t touch it.” 

He went on to say that Rosado did not ask him to stop contacting her and asked Sharpe if could be a moderator for the two of them. “That s**t ain’t funny, man. That s**t hurt, boy,” he said. “There’s no point in touching the stove if it’s still hot. I got to let the stove cool down.”
