The prince of Gengetone Mejja has explained why he will help any upcoming artiste who shows grit and zeal in the studio recording booth.

Speaking to Kamene Goro and Jalango on the Morning Kiss, Mejja revealed that a very popular and well-known gospel artiste actually asked him to pay Ksh300,000 for a collabo.

"I remember when the gospel industry was flying high and I wanted to do a gospel song to praise God. When I approached this artiste, he asked for Sh150,000 as a commitment fee and Sh150,000 more for recording the song and other incidentals."

Kamene and Jalango urged him to reveal who he is but he refused to say, explaining,

"I don't want to mention him because I don't know what level he is at in his life."

He never revealed who it was but hinted that is is one of the artists who used to sing with Daddy Owen back in his heydays.

Adding,

It is not Bahati since we have done 'Wanani'  together but the only hint is; It is one of the guys who used to sing with Daddy Owen. I was shocked because I thought he was my friend and I vowed that if God uplifts me then I will make it my mission to uplift others.
