Many Nigerians have expressed surprise that despite having all the things he could have used to gain sympathy votes, he decided to use his talent instead.

Obviously this report sparked reactions from viewers of the reality TV show as they promptly reacted to Laycon’s revelation about his genotype on Twitter as it generated mixed comments.

Fans however recalled how disqualified housemate Erica who used to be Laycon’s close friend in the house body-shamed him during her angry outburst at the musician-housemate.

And as expected, others, while noting how strong Laycon is, slammed Erica for looking down on him.

Erica’s fans, however, reacted to the posts about the disqualified housemate and fired back at those praising Laycon.

Summary of today’s gists so far; A thread!

Erica was dragged by Icons(laycon fans) when they found out that she used Laycons insecurities of having “SC genotype”against him.
“Be there smiling, you think smiling will keep you from dying”  she said. https://t.co/hBYtyH26el@SMiTHiE

Laycon brought about a whole trend about SC and SS and people with the same genotype are now proudly coming out to own it and speak about it without feeling ashamed
LAYCON IS A NATIONAL TREASURE THAT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST
VOTE Laycon #BBNaija https://t.co/njBXcSfb4Usmanashafe
Erica : 1 week has passed you’ve not taken your drugs Ode, you think by smiling you can get away with it.
Fact: Erica knew that Laycon is Sc, she knew about his Genotype and used it against him.
Be careful who you share your  secrets with

I cried and am still crying after hearing that Laycon is SC, Laycon you will go far in life

Thank God my Genotype is AA 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 https://t.co/Bie7NTN5XC @ObianujuVictory
I really don’t get, so y’all just sat back with your feet up & started tweeting the lie that Erica knew Laycon has an SC genotype just to vilify her?

FFS let the poor girl rest, she’s outchea just doing her thing and tryna make her paper yet y’all won’t get off her dick.

“That SC story is perfectly timed” … Yes sir you are right, next time when they are talking about Genotype in the house he will lie he is AA so you won’t be upset.@MoAdekunleOni

If you can’t be bothered about genotype permutations at all, I have a simple trick for you to memorise.

IF you are AA,
You are safe to marry anybody.
Their genotype doesn’t matter.
IF you are not AA,
You are safe to marry any AA,
Your genotype doesn’t matter.
Tell others too.@DrOlufunmilayo

Icons were so happy when one guy posted some screenshots of his chat with Laycon  before BBNaija2020,where Laycon was explaining in details to him about his SC genotype in a very humble and gentle way, it also gave many people more reasons to vote Laycon.

Laycon was…. https://t.co/SdrY64@SMiTHiE
