Laycon, the winner of the recently concluded Big Brother Naija reality show, has donated towards the care of sickle cell patients, IgbereTV reports.

The artiste, who famously revealed on the show that his genotype is SC, decided to give back to the community by making life easier for sickle cell patients, and he did it quietly..

His act of charity was made public by a Twitter user, @EkunBolaji, whose family benefited from Laycon’s kindness.
