In a recent interview with Radio Maisha, the esteemed musician Mejja, also known as Nameye Khadija in the music world, openly discussed his financial arrangements, shedding light on his decision to entrust his wealth to his mother.
Mejja disclosed that his assets are officially registered under his mother’s name, a choice rooted in deep trust and a sense of security. This decision reflects his profound connection with his mother, whom he holds in high regard.
