Big Brother Naija 2020 housemate Olamilekan ‘Laycon’ Agbeleshe has said he was taking things lightly on the reality show and making it to the final stage was not his initial plan.

“I just wanted to come and catch a cruise here,” he said.

Reacting to his emergence as a finalist of the show’s Season 5 edition, the rapper said he is grateful to be a part of the top five.

Speaking on how he feels to still be in the house during a diary session with Big Brother, Laycon said: “It was actually a month after I released my EP, and I saw it. I was like I can actually go in there to promote my music, my songs, and myself. Even if it is two weeks and leave. I just wanted to come and catch a cruise here.

“I feel good you know, I feel great. I feel very happy. It feels good to be here Big brother. I feel very grateful and thankful on my part that I didn’t get evicted, and it made me feel like a lot of people have faith in me, the kind of faith I don’t even have in myself. I’m really happy about that… I’m happy I’m a finalist, I’m happy that Dorathy is here.”

One of the five finalists in the Lockdown house will emerge winner of the BBNaija season 5 on 27th September 2020, and will go home with grand prize worth N85 million.
