Kenyan man on X, using the handle @Saddam_ke, has started a heated debate online after claiming veteran rapper Mejja became famous because of TikToker Azziad Nasenya.

Man rekindles Mejja's Utawezana challenge debate

There had been a debate in the past on who between Femi One and Azziad made the other. This is because Azziad became famous because of Femi and Mejja's song Utawezana and, in return, made the song famous because of her dance style.

However, Saddam rekindled that debate and opined that Mejja's career was on its deathbed, and it took Azziad going viral to revive it.

He said:

"Mejja became famous because of Azziad, but people are not ready for that conversation."

Kenyans react to man downplaying Mejja's status

His post got many talking about who made the other, and the heated debate resulted in the Kwani Jana Kuliendaje crooner trending on X.

Here are some of the comments from social media users:

"When Mejja was writing letters to his bro, you were a refugee."

"This was a mutual relationship."

@AtwoliiYa said:

"Juu wimbo ya nikikupea utawezana ilikuwa ya Azziad?"

@smokinGun9 said:

"I think you were born between 2000 and 2006. Wewe ni mtoto wa juzi. You don't know the impact of Mejja."

@RapHubKenya said:

@josephhKamande said:

"I used to listen to Landlord back in 2014, Azziad alikuwa Form One. Unasema nini kaka?"

Femi One on Azziad's silence after thanking her

Renowned rapper Femi One once expressed how disappointed she was when Azziad went mute when people criticised her despite them having a conversation about her viral moment.

According to Femi, the song was already a hit before Azziad did her Utawezana challenge, but she confirmed she reached out and thanked her.

The Under The Influence hitmaker said the criticism she faced after the song became popular made her question why people thought she didn't deserve credit for its success.
