Social media followers are important to every celebrity because it indirectly dictates how long they would last and how far their content would go.
This of course applies to Big Brother Naija ex-housemates, and while some of them have been on the low since they got out of the show in different years, others are thriving with increasing fanbases.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported how Laycon reached one million followers on his Instagram page, a feat that had never been achieved before.
What made his number of followers extra special was that he was able to reach the milestone while still in the BBNaija house as a contestant.
Laycon reportedly had a little over 3000 followers when he first joined the reality show but his ratings quickly grew among fans and many of them followed his Instagram page.
