Mejja Okonkwo, Kenya’s finest Gengentone rapper, revealed that he loves solo life. Speaking to Manucho on Baze 47, the singer said the Nairobi lifestyle changed him.
Mejja revealed that when he first arrived in Nairobi, he thought Nairobians embraced brotherhood and sisterhood, only until he stayed in the city and discovered things were different.
The Utawezana hitmaker said Nairobian relationships are for mutual benefits, and you’ll be dropped if you have nothing to offer.

“When I first came to Nairobi, I thought people embraced friendship like in the village and had genuine friendship. Later, I discovered there’s no friendship in Nairobi.” Mejja shared.
“For one to keep you as a friend, they must know what you have to offer. Do you have something? If you don’t have anything to offer, you’ll be dropped because it was like you were not making sense,” he added.
Mejja explained that after he learned about the type of friendship that exists in Nairobi, he started to embrace a solo life and a love for alcohol. The singer said genuine friendship comes from his biological mother.

The celebrated rapper also spoke about the challenges he encountered in 2024. Music and family challenges made him pause his music career, especially after his manager of 15 years left. However, he admitted that he’s now fairing well.
“Nilikuwa na manager wangu for 15 years na vile tuliacha, nilipitia vitu vingi sana kwa sababu alikuwa rafiki yangu kando na kuwa meneja. Nikiwa na stress, yeye ndiye nilikuwa nikienda kuongea naye. All of a sudden, msee hayupo. Kila kitu kulikuwa lazma nipitie process na maneno ya family pia.” He revealed as he shared plans of doing more music in 2025.
