Kenyan artist Ranzscooby has recently released "Tic Tac Remix," featuring Mejja and Scar Mkadinali, eliciting a spectrum of reactions across social media. While the track is celebrated for its infectious beats and captivating verses, it has also become a focal point for criticism, particularly directed at Mejja's lyrical content and creative direction.

Critics on various platforms have not minced words, with some expressing discontent over Mejja's continued use of explicit sexual themes in his music, despite nearing the age of 50. One commentator humorously remarked, "Uskii arbantone inakataa Mejja (Mejja is not being creative enough for Urburtone)," suggesting a perception that Mejja's lyrical themes may lack innovation or depth.

Another critique highlighted Mejja's persistent focus on sexual content, with a comment stating, "Ati kumkUm bagya, usisahau malayaa haridhishwii (He is lustful and sings explicit content and not creative enough for Urburtone)." This sentiment underscores a divide among listeners who question the appropriateness and creativity of Mejja's lyrical choices.

Furthermore, criticism has extended to Mejja's perceived lack of versatility, with comments like, "Na hana likizo (And he has no break)," suggesting that Mejja's thematic repertoire may not evolve sufficiently beyond explicit content.

Despite these criticisms, Mejja retains a strong following who appreciate his unabashed approach and energetic performances. His collaboration on "Tic Tac Remix" with Ranzscooby and Scar Mkadinali continues to showcase his impact on the Kenyan music scene, stirring both admiration and debate about the boundaries of lyrical expression in contemporary music.
