Mejja reveals he was meant to feature in Dantez’s hit song Ala
By Valerian Khakayi, August 10, 2025Legendary musician Major Nameye Khadija, widely known as Mejja, has for the first time disclosed that he was meant to be featured in the gengetone artiste, Dantez’s hit song dubbed Ala.
The song, which took the airwaves by storm, featured other gengetone artistes, Trio, Mio, Odi wa Murang’a and Reckless.
Speaking candidly with Alex Mwakideu, in a pre-recorded interview that was uploaded on Saturday, August 9, 2025, Mejja shared that he was sent the song before its release to add his input, but he was unable to write a verse that aligned with the song’s idea.
Mejja went on to explain that after listening to the song, he was not sure about the chorus, which is why he failed to add his input, adding that it was eventually released without his contribution.
Additionally, he admits that the track was and is still a hit even without his input.
“Mimi ni yule mtu lazima nikuwe kwa hiyo vibe, unaweza nitumia song sitaki kukutumia verse kwa sababu naandika tu so unapata ni hard kuambia mtu aelewe kwa sababu nko so much into that,” he revealed.
“Kuna nyimbo kadha nimetumiwa hata ile Alah nilitumiwa nikasikiliza sasa hiyo part ya ulalala siku sure nayo song ilitoka na ikashika saa zengine unahatanga.“
Other artiste
Apart from Dantez, the Ya Mwisho hitmaker also revealed that he was meant to feature in one of Ssaru’s songs but did not, and she went on to release it after numerous calls for him to add his verse.
Regarding Ssaru’s song, which he did not mention by name, Mejja clarified that at the time she reached out to him, he was not in the right frame of mind and he could not write quality verse.
“Ssaru alinitumia song lakini alitoa ngoma ilikuwa kali na everytime alikuwa ananiambi hujatuma hujatuma na mwambia siko kwa hiyo space kwa sababu hiyo time niliuwa napitia vitu flani hiyo ndio time nilikuwa nimekosana na management na mimi sikutaka kutuma tu verse,” he revealed.
“Aliweka mtu mwengine na akatoa na ikashika sana ilikuwa song kali.”
Mejja on music creation
“Furthermore, he added that he always takes time before writing a song, as he wants to produce music that resonates with the audience.
“Sinanga procedure, first lazima music iingiye kwa roho yangu, kwa sababu music ni biashara ya kuuza feelings, so feeling number one ni track, mimi unaweza nitumia track inasound vizuri lakina nasikia haishiki heart yangu, mimi pia huandika pole pole,” he said.
Ukiingia kwa studio kama hauna feel hauna energy poa, hio song pia haita shika watu lazima ukuwe in the right space.“
Additionally, he said that he does not write songs if he is not in the right state of mind to craft creative songs.
“Mtu hukuwa na writers’ block unawenza andika alafu ikitoka unasema I hope ningechange hapa na hapa hiyo ndio ilikuwa the biggest,” he added.
