I Am LAYCON
I Am LAYCON, the first Showmax Original from Nigeria, is now streaming first and exclusively on the platform.
The show follows the life of Lekan Agbeleshe, aka Laycon, who emerged winner of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 5 as he settles into life after the show. Enjoy cameo appearances from his fellow BBNaija housemates, including Lilo Aderogba and Victoria Adeyele, aka Vee. Fans also get a peek into the relationship between Laycon and his management team, which includes his brother and best friend.
Speaking of his experience starring in his very own reality show, Laycon says, “Music, family and friendship are extremely important to me and I’m excited that my fans around the world can join me as I explore these different sides of me on I Am LAYCON.”
Superfans – known as iCONS – stay up to watch episodes as they drop with the #IAmLayconShowmax hashtag. It trended on Twitter in Nigeria in the hours before it arrived on Showmax and remained a fixture as fans shared their favourite moments.
