BBNaija Lockdown winner, Laycon, on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, announced that shooting has commenced for the first Nigerian Showmax Original reality series, which will be titled I Am Laycon.
In an Instagram live session with his fans, during which he made the disclosure, Laycon said the new TV show will premiere exclusively on Showmax in February 2021.
Fans of BBNaija and lovers of exciting reality TV will now be privileged to watch Laycon on his journey after BBNaija, as he settles into life as a star while juggling his personal relationships and growing music career in Lagos.
With this development, Laycon will be joining ex-BBNaija housemates, Mercy and Ike, to be among reality TV stars who have TV shows that documents their lifestyle.
However, coming from humble beginnings, the 26-year–old musician and philosophy graduate (Laycon), had to hustle his way through life before landing a spot in the recently-concluded BBNaija reality TV show, where he wormed his way into the hearts of music and reality TV shows’ fans across Africa.
With his wit, lyrical talent, and genius. Laycon beat 19 other housemates on Sunday, 27 September 2020, to emerge the winner of BBNaija Lockdown, winning N85 million worth of cash prizes.
Expressing his excitement about the Showmax Original, Laycon said: “I am happy to continue my new life journey and embrace the new responsibilities of evolving not just myself but everyone around me.”
“I want you to come along for the ride as you get to see the growth that you have supported and loved,” he added.
