Kenyan rapper Mejja, known for his witty and catchy lyrics, recently opened up about the drastic changes he had to make in his life after losing his voice. Mejja, whose real name is Mejja Mwangi, rose to fame in the early 2010s with hits such as “Landlord,” “Niko Poa,” and “Double Tap.” However, in 2022, he experienced a vocal cord injury that left him unable to speak or perform for several months.
In a candid interview with a local media outlet, Mejja shared that losing his voice was a humbling experience that forced him to reevaluate his priorities and make some significant lifestyle changes. One of the most significant changes he had to make was his diet. As a rapper, Mejja was used to the late-night lifestyle of partying and eating unhealthy foods. However, after his injury, he had to switch to a healthier diet that included more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
Mejja also revealed that he had to undergo speech therapy to regain his voice. He explained that the therapy was a long and arduous process that required a lot of patience and determination. Mejja had to work with a speech therapist for months to retrain his vocal cords and regain his ability to speak and rap.
The rapper also talked about the emotional toll that losing his voice took on him. He shared that he struggled with depression and anxiety during the time he couldn’t speak or perform. However, he credits his family and friends for their unwavering support, which helped him through the difficult period.
Despite the challenges he faced, Mejja emerged from the experience a stronger and more grounded person. He stated that losing his voice taught him the importance of taking care of his body and mind and valuing the people in his life. He also revealed that he is now more intentional about his music, focusing on creating music that is both entertaining and meaningful.
Mejja’s story serves as a reminder that even the most challenging experiences can be an opportunity for growth and self-reflection. His willingness to share his struggles and the changes he made in his life is an inspiration to many and highlights the importance of taking care of one’s health and well-being.
