Kenyan rapper Mejja makes life seem like one big party filled with the girls from his videos.
He has actually gone through a tough life and he hides it under all the massive tracks he gives Kenyans. Mejja was in the hospital a few months ago when he asked his fans to pray for him after a surgery to remove his appendix.
In an interview with Annitah Raey, the Jana kuliendaje hitmaker who is a member of The Kansoul music group revealed that he fell into depression just days after his wife whom he had known for five years suddenly broke up with him, for no reasons.
Mejja confirms that there was no disagreement between him and his now ex-wife when she decided to just leave the house and break up with him via a text message.
What’s even more heartbreaking is the fact that it all happened when he along with his fellow members of The Kansoul, were set to sign a lucrative endorsement deal with one of the alcohol beverages companies, which was taking place in Thika.
“We had not disagreed actually we were so happy. That day, I was in Thika and I got her message asking me If I had arrived well, I told her, yes and the next thing she told me was ‘Move on with your life’. The next time I called her, she neither received nor returned my calls.”
Mejja went on to say that, that was the last day his wife ever stepped into their house.
He was very uncomfortable with that message. When he went back home she was not there and few things in the house were missing. Mejja was so stressed, especially because he longed to have a family and now he does not know why she decided to just leave.
One day I decided to go see my baby and asked my wife what happened and she just had no reason.
The challenge he had was being a man because he felt he did not have to open up to his close friends, and wondered how it would even help him if he decided to.
“As a man, sharing that with my friends, was the hardest thing. It consumed me inside for so long but at last I decided to open up. I could not imagine the mother of my child living another man.
I worth being alive because as a man and with my career, you have to be happy especially when you are performing to people so I used to fake a smile.”
That season led him to almost committing suicide.
“Committing suicide was one of the thought that came in my mind, especially because I felt like there was something wrong but the best thing was that I had a friend who would come to my house. We would chat and slowly all the suicidal thoughts faded away and I got better."
Mejja revealed that the breakup was a blessing in disguise since he found a new soulmate who is completely the opposite version of his ex-wife and he is now much happier.
He was once accused of cheating on his wife with a slay queen but when reached out to him, he did not give a comment on that.
