Most of Mejja songs are inspired by Kenyans behaviours.
The artist has revealed this after facing criticism that his songs revolve around women and alcohol.
Gengetone artist Mejja has recently addressed the ongoing criticism that his songs only talk of alcohol and women.
According to the artist, most of the people he started singing for have started having families and he does try a lot to balance so that he can feed everybody in his music.
“For those who criticize my lyrics, that is on them, not on me. It depends on what age they are. People need to understand that the people I started singing for were young people who have now started families. I respect that, so I sometimes make songs that a family can listen to. I have to feed everybody; I try to keep a balance.”
He went on to note that the entertainment industry was a business just like any other and as a businessman he had to flow with whatever proved to be good for business and his clientele in order to make tangible returns.
“But it’s also good if people realize I do music as a business. I can’t just write songs for a family. What about the parties that Kenyans love? When I’m in that space, I have to write lyrics about women, who are always the life of the party, and in a language that these people understand and always communicate in, which is kind of dirty.
Mejja further noted that whatever he does produce is inspired by Kenyan behaviours.
“So how I write is inspired by Kenyan behaviours. Their love for parties, women, and alcohol.”
The artist also announced that he has plans to launch customized merchandise featuring his trademark red tumbler
Revealing that the products would feature an image of him accompanied by some select lines from his classic hit songs.
“The mugs will have a picture of me holding a mug as usual and a few lines of my lyrics. Each mug will have a unique lyrics text. I want it to be more than just a tumbler for the fans. I want it to mean something. A reminder of good times, good memories.’’
