Does Chad deserve some street cred for his performance?

Chad Ochocinco has to be one of the funniest internet personalities right now. Him, along with Shannon Sharpe are an unstoppable duo on their hit podcast, Nightcap. Their channel has quickly grown since its inception right before the 2023-2024 NFL season. They are already at the 1.1 million subscriber mark on YouTube due to their unfiltered commentary on sports, pop culture, and dating. While some of their episodes have landed them in some hot water, their show is only going to continue to grow. Ocho is certainly playing a big role in that for his hilarious moments including calling out rap battle stars. Those savants, who are a part of URL, were challenged by Chad Ochocinco to a rap battle.

According to HipHopDX, the former NFL wide receiver has been talking serious smack about the Ultimate Rap League for a little bit now. According to AllHipHop, Loaded Lux, a veteran in the rap battle game, went on Nightcap to confront Chad about his confidence in his pen game. Well, after all of that chirping, the NFL stud backed up his claims this past weekend against not one, but two rappers at once. His two proclaimed victims were DNA and Charlie Clips.

Chad Ochocinco Is A Man Of His Word

Clips is considered tough competition, as according to URL's website, he has won all 11 battles and taken 24 out of 33 rounds overall. All three contestants put on a hilarious and enjoyable performance and fans were here for it. In the YouTube comments one fan wrote, "Love this 😂 man i wanna see ocho cinco actually do some writing and do a 1 rounder." Another applauds Ochocinco for doing this and bringing respect to the battle rap scene. "Salute to Ocho for trying to shine some light on the culture."
