On July 3, 2019, Mejja was interviewed by Jalang'o on Milele FM, where he addressed concerns about his music career after joining The Kansoul.

Mejja's fans have expressed disappointment with his recent music, feeling that it lacks the poetic vibe he once delivered as a solo artist.

When asked if his lyrics no longer deliver the same poetic vibe, Mejja responded, 'Watu kwa mtandao wanauliza Mejja arudi apige moja tu yake bila Kansoul. Sijui kama umeona. Wanasema umepotea sana kwa Kansoul, hakuna mashairi.'

Mejja clarified that he has not changed his style, but rather adapted to the current music industry trends, saying, 'Lazima tuchange kama venye generation inachange wale watu nilikuwa naimbia 2007 saa hii wako na familia so atabambika na ngoma zako lakini kama kuna concert hatakuja.Hii generation mpya ukitaka kuwa relevant lazima uchange na vile generation inachange.'

He also addressed allegations that he is using younger artists to boost his career, stating, 'Hapana. Unajua nilirealize wave inachange na kwa sababu watu wengine wako sensitive na lyrics but ukiimba nao unawawekea stamp of authority hawa wasee wako sawa.'

Mejja emphasized that he is not using younger artists to gain popularity, but rather to stay relevant in the ever-changing music industry.
