Some Nigerians on micro-blogging platform Twitter have bashed former BBNaija housemate, Erica for body-shaming Laycon who disclosed that he is a sickle cell carrier.
AllNews earlier reported that Laycon, during a conversation with fellow housemates revealed that he is a sickle cell carrier but hides it from people because they will begin to think he is sick.
The 26-year-old rapper said, "My blood group is Sickle Cell, I don’t like to tell people my genotype because I feel they will think I’m sick.”
Upon the revelation, Twitter users assumed he revealed his health status to Erica who body-shamed him before her disqualification.
Recall that a major event that led to Erica's disqualification was that of the 7th Saturday night party.
Erica who was intoxicated by alcohol confronted Laycon, threatening to make him suffer and body shaming him.
She had said: “You are a fool. You are lying that I tried to kiss you. You can prove that I tried to kiss you?
“ I’m only attracted to your brain. You are a short fool, your whole body is like a broomstick. One week has passed and you can’t prove that I tried to kiss you severally.
“As skinny and ugly as you are, you don’t have anything to trend with. Why are you always talking about me in the first place?
“The only thing Ebuka always asks you about is Erica. Your whole body is like the drumstick of a chicken.
“I was attracted to your brain but right now your brain is evil. Laycon is manipulative and everyone is taking his side. I will make sure he suffers in life. I will do everything in my power to make this possible.”
The users who felt Erica body-shamed Laycon because she knew his genotype have continued to bash the young actress.

Now I get why my mama keeps saying, "Never mock what you can't create, trust no one not even me". So Erica knew all this while that Laycon is sc and still used to attack him.The guy has been living his best life with sickle cell and she had the nerve to say smiling won't save him

I have never voted before in BBN. Everything I know about the show is against my will. Hearing that Laycon is SC and that Erica bodyshamed him is against my will too. But I might finally vote for the first time and it's for Laycon.

Well, taking Fearless drink cus the energy to vote Laycon just doubled.
Remember my Friend before he died from Sickle Cell Disease on the hospital bed said he wouldn't wish the Pain he suffered on his enemies. Erica knows Laycon is SC & she Still went on to throw around "Death Wishes" just like that.

Tbh I don’t care if Erica knew LAYCON is SC or not. It doesn’t change the fact that she body shamed him and wished him death. And it doesn’t change the fact that LAYCON is going to win that 85 million on Sunday. #VOTELayconFiercely SMS VOTE Laycon to 32052

If Erica actually knew that Laycon is SC and still went ahead to say all those vile, unspeakable words to him, then she is the worst kind of human being on earth...

He was body shamed, his pain Genotype ,was used to abused him, he was reminded of his possible short life span, by someone he love & care abt, yet,no trace of disappointment, depression or retaliation.
