Johnson has said he used to own the locker, but wrote on X: “I don’t want all that old a** s***.”
Hunters showed there were cockroaches amongst the stuff.
He said it was filled with pricey items, including a mink vest he estimated might fetch $5,000, to autographed memorabilia from Johnson’s days in the NFL.
It also reportedly housed plenty of shoes, including Yves Saint Laurent and soccer cleats signed by Brazilian star Ronaldinho, plus guitars and designer clothes.
Ochocinco made plenty of money during his NFL career, went on Dancing with the Stars, and now co-hosts a podcast called Night Cap with fellow former NFLer Shannon Sharpe. The pair talked in a Tuesday episode about Ochocinco’s surprise at seeing his old storage unit being investigated.

Johnson claims on the episode it was actually not one but two storage units cleaned out by the TikToker and said he doesn’t want to “hoard” stuff from “2004 or 2005” that he no longer wears or needs.
“That’s late 20 year-old, 30 year-old Chad,” he says. “I’m about to be 50, I’m not going to wear,” he said before Sharpe cut him off to say he could have donated the items.
“Do I look like the person that’s gonna take all that stuff and donate it?” he asked.
Johnson said once he was done with football, he lost interest in any of the memorabilia.
