Winning BBNaija saved my mother’s life – Laycon

Laycon has opened up about a deeply personal chapter of his life, revealing how winning the 2020 edition of Big Brother Naija played a life-saving role for his mother

Speaking during an appearance on the Echo Room podcast, the rapper recounted how his mother was already battling a serious illness before he entered the reality show, with her condition worsening significantly while he was still in the house.

According to him, the situation became critical by the time he returned, but his victory proved to be a turning point. The prize money and opportunities that came with winning the show enabled him to secure the medical care she urgently needed, ultimately saving her life and transforming his family’s circumstances.

“Winning BBNaija saved my mother’s life. 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 gone and come out second, my mom would be dead now.”, he said.
