• Not stopping there, Laycon spoke on navigating the entertainment industry with no prior experience

2020 Big Brother Naija winner Olamilekan Moshood Agbeleshe, aka Laycon, has opened up about his growth in the entertainment industry.

Speaking on the audiovisual podcast “Echoo Room” hosted by Teddy A, the reality star mentioned how his mother’s survival was closely tied to his victory on the TV show.

Laycon revealed that his mother was critically ill before he entered the Big Brother house.

According to him, her condition had worsened significantly, and she was close to death by the time the show ended, making his eventual win even more meaningful. “When I was in the house, my mom was ill. By the time I came out, my mom was close to death. I’m saying it categorically now, if I did not win that show, if I had come out second, my mom would be dead now.”

The rapper also reflected on his journey after BBNaija, noting how film producers approached him for projects despite him not having any experience.

He highlighted that many people had opinions about his career choices, from music to scriptwriting, but noted that his fame was driven by the passion fans have for him.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Laycon revealed that he lost his inner voice shortly after his victory on the reality show.

The rapper made the revelation while speaking in a video broadcast titled Life With Laycon, where he shared insights about his personal journey and the importance of self-discovery and inner peace.

According to the ‘Fierce’ crooner, the sudden fame that followed his win made him lose touch with his inner thoughts for a period of time.

“Has the world ever gone silent on you and all you have left was your own thoughts?” he asked while recounting his experience.

Laycon explained that after winning the show in 2020, he struggled to hear his inner voice again until December 2021, after his sold-out concert, The Icons Fest.

“I dont understand why people make succk comments like it is because he wasnt doing well bla bla bla. And so! Shouldn’t one pivot if something isn’t working. That’s why people remain stuck and being in shame. If something isnt working try other things. If something works and you also want to try, please do so. Make your choice and do you.”
