Mejja blames long distance on his failed marriage to his wife of five years

3 mins read

Mejja’s marriage hit rock bottom sometimes in December 2020. The Genge rapper was left by his wife of five years and the mother of his daughter.

Mejja slipped into depression after his effort to salvage his marriage failed to bear fruits. The rapper only found solace in a new relationship.

“Mejja took my baby mama and my son” Mejja hit by major scandal weeks after introducing his new girlfriend

Mejja opened up about his failed marriage in a recent interview with Lynn Ngugi. He blamed long distance for wrecking his marriage.

“We are not together at the moment. It is confusing because we were just fine. In layman’s language, I would give an example and say it is like being with someone for a few years, then they get a job, in a place like France. This person comes and tells you, ‘this job that I got is my dream, my happiness’. Obviously, such news will get you off guard. Truth is, everybody should follow their happiness, even if it means going to France. I wasn’t prepared to be in a long-distance relationship,” said Mejja.

Adding that;

“I analyzed the situation and accepted to be in the long-distance relationship so that my wife could be happy. But it didn’t work out. We parted way in December 2020. I have tried talking to her twice about this, but we have not come to a solution because it is a very tricky issue. If what she wanted was a product I could go to the shop and buy, I would have, but I can’t. It’s also not something I’m confident with, but she insists on pursuing it.

Mejja further admitted to falling deep into depression after his wife left him and took up her dream job in France.

“What I can tentatively say is there is nothing as painful as that. That situation left me really depressed. I mean it would be less hurtful if I knew maybe there is something I did or she did that hurt us but it’s nothing like that.

“Apart from that, she is a good woman, she is a good mother. She made me very religious. I wasn’t much of a praying type but after I met her I became very prayerful. She even used to help me when writing lyrics… It is not easy. She was my best friend – my everything.”
