The rapper, whose real name is Olamilekan Agbeleshebioba, revealed that after winning the competition, he went through a period where he felt disconnected from his own inner voice.

In a video that surfaced online, Laycon shared how the overwhelming changes that came with sudden fame affected him mentally and emotionally.

Reflecting on that moment, he posed a thought-provoking question to his audience:
“Has the world ever gone silent on you and all you have left were your own thoughts?”

He went on to explain the experience in more detail.
“I have been there, and I want to share a part of that experience with you. After I won Big Brother Naija in 2020, I lost my inner voice, and the first time I heard that voice again was December 2021 after my sold-out concert, The Icons Fest,” the rapper said.

According to Laycon, reconnecting with that inner voice led him into a period of deep reflection.

“The voice kept asking me questions like, ‘Is this really how you want to live? Are you enjoying yourself? What’s next after this?

“Are you happy? Questions that made me want to sit alone with my thoughts. So, that’s what I did. From that conversation came a lot of necessary but uncomfortable truths and realisation about myself,” he added.

The artist explained that moments of solitude and silence can be powerful tools for personal growth. For him, stepping away from the noise allowed him to think clearly, confront difficult truths, and better understand himself.

Laycon also encouraged his fans to embrace self-reflection, noting that taking time to evaluate one’s thoughts and actions is a form of personal accountability that can lead to meaningful change.

DJ Neptune has finally addressed the ongoing issue with his colleague Laycon, following allegations made by the rapper on August 22, 2024. Laycon had publicly called out DJ Neptune on the social media platform X, asking for an update on the financial split from their collaborative track “Nobody (Icons Remix),” which had been unresolved for four years.

In a recent interview on the Zero Conditions podcast, DJ Neptune clarified the situation, emphasizing that no money was wrongfully taken. According to Neptune, the delay was due to documentation issues, particularly the need to reimburse the advanced marketing costs that were part of the distribution agreement for the song.

DJ Neptune explained, “When you have a deal with a distribution company or a label, and you’re given advanced marketing money to push the music or video, they have to recoup that investment.”

He assured that Laycon’s concerns were legitimate and acknowledged that the legal teams from both sides were involved in negotiating the financial split.

He admitted that the matter was left unresolved partly due to his oversight in not following up, but he made it clear that no one was attempting to cheat anyone. Neptune added that a percentage was proposed to Laycon’s team, which they disagreed with, and the conversation stalled from there.

Neptune concluded by reaffirming his respect for Laycon, describing him as his “brother,” and expressed his hope that the matter would be settled soon.

Nigerian singer Laycon recently shared a poignant anecdote from his past on social media, reflecting on a particularly challenging experience during his university days.

In his candid revelation, Laycon recounted a time when he faced extreme hardship, vividly describing it as one of his lowest points before attaining fame.

The 2020 BBNaija winner, now a master’s degree holder from the University of Portsmouth, UK, reminisced about his undergraduate years at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). He recalled a specific incident in 2013 when he found himself in dire circumstances, feeling more than just hunger.

Laycon recounted being alone in his room at Shodeinde Hostel one weekend with no one else around. Faced with profound hunger and limited resources, he found himself compelled to resort to drastic measures.

With no sugar to complement his garri, Laycon revealed that he had no option but to soak it using water from the toilet tap. He expressed that this experience was one of the toughest moments he had ever endured, leading him to tears.

Laycon’s heartfelt narrative serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination he exhibited on his journey to success, resonating with many who have faced similar challenges on their paths to achievement.

He wrote, “One of my lowest lows was using shodeinde hostel toilet water to soak garri in 2013. I was alone in my wing that weekend, and I was starving. I wasn’t hungry o, I was starving. So I soaked Garri with no sugar and used toilet tap water to drink it… as I Dey soak the garri, water dey commot for my eyes.”

Nigerian media personality and artist Olamilekan Massoud Al-Khalifah Agbeleshebioba, known professionally as Laycon, has expressed concerns about the purported lack of support for the APC-led government’s success among certain Nigerians.

The Big Brother Naija ‘Lockdown’ winner questioned why some people wished and prayed for Nigeria to remain in its current state.

On Monday, Laycon accused supporters of the opposition parties on Twitter of not wanting the nation to advance just because their chosen candidates had come in last in the February 25 presidential election.

He wrote, “Abeg wait to… so there are people (Nigerians, living in Nigeria) actively hoping and praying for things not to get better in this country because their preferred candidate isn’t the current President? To what end?”

Abeg wait ooo… so there are people (Nigerians, living in Nigeria) actively hoping and praying for things not to get better in this country because their preferred candidate isn’t the current President?

To what end 🥴🥴?

— biọba (@itsLaycon) October 16, 2023

His post went viral, drawing criticism from both supporters and detractors who questioned whether the country’s present economic suffering was the result of the “prayers and wishes” of followers of the opposing party.

Laycon, however, retorted that he had been misinterpreted and added that for the nation to have strong leaders, the populace must be good at being themselves.

The BBNaija Star emphasized that Nigerian leaders, like gas station attendants and POS workers, are a mirror of the Nigerian people.

He wrote; “I have always stood on the opinion that our leaders are a reflection of who we are as individuals. And as long as we as individuals don’t change, we’ll continue to experience what we give out. Living with the notion that disagreement means hostility and bad intention is wrong.

“I put out a tweet concerning a conversation I had earlier today and the mentions and response to the tweet shows how much some of you do not read to understand before replying. Take a moment and think before talking or typing.

“And yes, I believe our leaders are a reflection of us as a people. We have bad leaders. Yes, but bad people become bad leaders, not the other way around. The everyday people who make life hard for everyday people need only be in power for them to become leaders.

“The fuel attendants during fuel scarcity, the POS attendants during Naira scarcity, if they become leaders what would they do? The ones earning money in dollars, do you think they pray for the exchange rate to reduce or increase? Your super power of criticizing should be aimed at yourself once in a while.”
