Success, they say comes to those who are busy looking for it, Laycon has proven this saying to be true. He was someone constantly looking forward to achieving success while in the 2020 Big Brother Naija house. He won the reality TV show with a margin that many referred to as \u201cobserving social distancing\u201d, in line with the COVID-19 pandemic guideline. Following his win, multiple gifts, rewards, endorsements, and opportunities opened up for him and all these keep adding to his $460,000 net worth.<\/p>\n

Laycon\u2019s Rise to Fame<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before joining the Big Brother Naija Season 5 show in 2020, Olamilekan Moshood Agbeleshe was known among his mates as a rapper and singer. He was born in Lagos state where he also grew up and had both his primary and secondary school education before proceeding to the University of Lagos for a degree in Philosophy.<\/p>\n

Laycon as a graduate worked as a sales and business development staff in Bestman Games, Ikoyi. He then became the PA to the assistant director of welfare in the Administration and Human Resources which was under the Lagos State Ministry of Information and Strategy.<\/p>\n

The 30 years old rapper started nurturing the idea of being a professional musician since childhood before finally emerging as one of the finest rappers in Nigeria. His rise to fame was greatly influenced by his participation in the BBNaija show which remains one of the biggest reality Tv shows in Africa. However, he had already made a good impression in the music world years before his eventual fame in 2020. He released many singles such as \u201cNo Know\u201c, \u201cElevate\u201d and \u201cI Lie\u201d and had performed in the 2014 Coke Studio University of Lagos Music event. He was even one of the top ten finalists of the 2017 MTV base LSB challenge.<\/p>\n

A year before joining the Big Brother house, Laycon signed with Fierce Nation Record Label and under the company, he released his song “Fierce” featuring Chinko Ekun and Reminisce; and “Senseless”. While the former was from his record EP Who is LaYcon<\/em> (2019), the latter dropped in August 2020. His impressive catalog of music helped him\u00a0 win the heart of other top players in rap music including Chocolate City.<\/p>\n
