Showmax Nigerian original series, I Am Laycon, which began streaming on Thursday February 11, will be available to audiences in the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Australia and 23 other countries, including across Africa.
I Am Laycon trails Big Brother Naija winner, Lekan Agbeleshe popularly known as Laycon as he settles into a life of stardom and chases his music career. The show features cameos from his fellow ex-housemates including Lilo Aderogba and Victoria Adeyele aka Vee.
Speaking on the development, Yolisa Phahle, MultiChoice Group CEO of General Entertainment and Connected Video, says, “Big Brother Naija has a huge Diaspora audience who followed Laycon’s journey while he was in the house.

Phahle adds: “We believe in the power of African stories and are leading the way in making sure that they can be enjoyed by the Diaspora and a growing international audience who we believe will love Laycon’s universal story.”
Talking about his experience starring in his 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.”
I Am Laycon will feature 10 episodes in total, with the first five episodes available to binge on Showmax from February 11 and the other five from March 4, 2021.
