Icons are in frenzy as their President, Laycon made the shortlist of Nigerian artistes who got the GOAT emoji hash-tagged to their names.

It turns out we can attribute the term G.O.A.T. to the actual G.O.A.T. himself: Muhammad Ali.

In his time, the boxer was popularly nicknamed “The Greatest,” which his wife then turned into G.O.A.T. for publicity in the 1990s.

When one is referred to as a ‘G.O.A.T’ it means he/she is ‘Greatest Of All Time’ in their field.

Olamilekan Moshood Agbeleshe who clinched the grand prize as the winner of BBNaija season 6 and has continued to prove himself as a rap star woke up to seeing the goat emoji hash-tagged to his name alongside Davido, Olamide and Wizkid.

This development made his teeming fans and even his lovers applaud his dexterity and commitment to art.
