Renowned Genge artiste Major Nemeye Khadija alias Mejja has explained why he opted to use his mother’s name and popularised it. Mejja says he uses his mother’s second name Khadija because she single-handedly took care of him and his two brothers since they were little. Sometimes, I would find her crying in the house and she’d act like nothing was wrong,” Mejja said in an interview with media personality Marlene Chepchumba. Growing up without a father figure was a challenge for him and Mejja says that influenced him to be a part of his children’s lives no matter what. It doesn’t matter if we are not together with baby mama- the child did nothing wrong,” said Mejja.
