BBNaija’s Laycon reveals he has ‘Sickle Cell’, making him and Erica trend online for her tirade against him
Big Brother Naija housemate, Laycon has revealed that he has a milder symptom of the sickle cell anaemia – the SC genotype.
He explained on the reality show that he has haemoglobin that carries symptoms similar to those of Sickle Cell disease, but milder.
According to Laycon: “My blood group is Sickle Cell, I don’t like to tell people my genotype because I feel they will think I’m sick.”
Responding, Dorathy said Laycon’s genotype could be the reason for his slim frame.
“Guess that is why you are thin,” Dorathy said.
Nigerians have gone on Twitter to react to this revelation, causing the hashtag #LayconIsSc to trend.
A number of people brought back the body-shaming incident with Erica and used the opportunity to call her out afresh, making Erica trend too.
See reactions below.
So that why Erica is telling laycon that he will die before 50. I hate that Erica
Being SC doesn’t mean an end to his life na… Why all this noise because he said the truth
I Feel They Will Think I’m Sick.”
Responding, Dorathy Said Laycon’s Genotype Could Be The Reason For His Slim Frame so he can reveal his status to them.
What is even the meaning of all this happening in social media this days, laycon you shouldn’t have to drop this on Instagram now…. If you are SC you should know it in mind now, they have started using it against you now. That’s how Nigeria is…. SC I a genotype on it own money of people have it as well but they hide it. Anyway is ordinary genotype I pray it will not affect your carrier.
That’s your own issue then why making it a public one, all well and good, take care of yourself.
I don’t know much to say about this, this is the issue among yourself and you need to sort things out among yourself.
May God save him from this ailment
There is nothing God cannot do and nothing is impossible for God to do
It is well
Laycon is really a strong man
Oh,body shaming and stigmatisation has dealt a big blow to many individual,increase in suicide,depression and low self esteem.We should say NO to such acts.
Quite unfortunate but Erica and laycon have there different life problems please let them be
Let them leave Erica out of this. It is her choice who she chooses. If she thinks SC is not good for her, let her follow AA na her choice
God will change it for u ok
I don’t really support you but I strongly believe that you are the winner.
Not a death sentence man.
It’s pity ,I pray he wins!
