Laycon’s elder brother and personal manager Abayomi Agbeleshe, has narrated how his brother’s fame was willful.
Widely known and referred to as Alake of Lagos, Yomi became popular as the breakout star of the record-breaking showmax original, I Am LAYCON.
From early on in the reality show, Abayomi established himself as the life of the party, despite managing the affairs of his brother.
“We prayed for days like this and they’re here. The less than pleasant part is sometimes you have to take things that you won’t normally take because I work for him (Laycon), so it’s about what he wants. But on the whole, there have been more ups than downs.”
The older Agbelese says the pleasant part of managing his brother’s affairs is that he gets to look out for him and fight for his interest while maintaining a good relationship.
“The best part is I get to look out for him, and fight for his interests. I enjoy what I do for him and we get to spend more time together. Also seeing him live the dream that we always talked about has been such a blessing. My brother and I have always been very close so that hasn’t changed. Rather this has made the bond stronger because it’s like going back to childhood when we had to live together so we’ve grown closer in a more mature sense. However, right now sometimes he’s a boss, and sometimes he’s a brother, so it’s a whole new dynamic because I have to live two lives – the life of a brother and the life of an employee. But it’s been good so far and I’ve been trying to balance things out,” he says.
Abayomi runs a cleaning and furnishing business When he’s not managing his brother’s affairs.
