According to the ‘Fierce’ crooner, the sudden fame that followed his win made him lose touch with his inner thoughts for a period of time.

“Has the world ever gone silent on you and all you have left was your own thoughts?” he asked while recounting his experience.

Laycon explained that after winning the show in 2020, he struggled to hear his inner voice again until December 2021, after his sold-out concert, The Icons Fest.

“After I won Big Brother Naija in 2020, I lost my inner voice, and the first time I heard that voice again was December 2021 after my sold-out concert, The Icons Fest,” he said.

He added that when the voice finally returned, it began asking him deep and uncomfortable questions about his life.

“The voice kept asking me questions like, ‘Is this really how you want to live? Are you enjoying yourself? What’s next after this? Are you happy?’”

Laycon said those questions pushed him to spend time alone reflecting on his life and decisions.

According to him, the period of reflection helped him confront several uncomfortable truths about himself and ultimately led to personal growth.

The reality star also advised people not to be afraid of silence or solitude, noting that many individuals avoid it because it forces them to face their true thoughts.
