My Genotype Is SC, But I Hate It When People Feel I’m Sick – BBNaija’s Laycon

BBNaija housemate, Laycon has come out to say that he has a milder symptom of the sickle cell anaemia – the SC genotype.

He recently revealed that he has haemoglobin that carries symptoms similar to those of Sickle Cell disease, but milder.

His words, “My blood group is Sickle Cell, I don’t like to tell people my genotype because I feel they will think I’m sick.”

Reacting, Nigerians jumped on social media to trend the #LayconIsSc hashtag, blasting Erica in the process for knowing his genotype and body-shaming him for it.

The first season of the show first aired on DStv Channel 37 from March 5 to June 4, 2006. In a twist to the game, two new contestants were introduced on Day 23, much to the excitement of the remaining housemates.

Ebuka, the most popular housemate for several weeks into the show and widely believed to emerge the winner was the seventh housemate to be evicted; many viewers blame the Joe’s Fan Club (JFC) for his eviction. Joe himself was soon evicted from the show.

Big Brother added another twist to the game on day 79 by cancelling the day’s scheduled nominations and making the housemates believe they will instead be evicted based on their performances on assigned tasks while in reality no more evictions were held and viewers began voting for the winner who turned out to be 26-year-old Katung Aduwak.
