Ken Hatim, one half of the now-defunct musical duo Hatim and Dokey, has finally opened up about the events that led to the dramatic fallout between him and his partner, Dokta Brain (Dokey). In an exclusive interview, Hatim reflected on the decade-long journey that the duo had shared in the music industry and the tensions that eventually caused their split.
For ten years, Hatim and Dokey were a staple in the music scene, known for their electrifying performances, powerful music, and undeniable chemistry. They were a duo that many thought would stand the test of time, but as Hatim reveals, their partnership wasn’t without its challenges.
A Decade of Success – But Not Without Struggles
“We have always given our all to the music,” Hatim said, reminiscing about the days when he and Dokey were at the top of their game. They had achieved major milestones, produced chart-topping hits, and were beloved by their fans. However, as their career reached new heights, so did the pressures and personal tensions between the two.
To celebrate their ten years in the music industry, Hatim and Dokey began planning a grand concert to mark the occasion. The event was meant to be a celebration of their success, their journey, and their bond as artists. But it was during the planning stages that things began to unravel.
Dokey’s Desire for a Solo Career
Hatim revealed that the rift began when Dokey expressed his desire to pursue a solo career. According to Hatim, Dokey wanted to take control of the concert, organizing it on his own terms and effectively sidelining Hatim in the process. “He felt like he was bigger than the other and wasn’t respecting me in any way,” Hatim explained.
The tension surrounding the concert, coupled with Dokey’s desire to go solo, created a divide that ultimately led to the duo parting ways. Hatim was left feeling betrayed, as he believed that their success had been a collective effort, and that Dokey’s desire for independence was a sign of disrespect to their shared legacy.
Ego Clash: How Tensions Escalated
For Hatim, the issue wasn’t just about the concert—it was about respect and the recognition of their partnership. He felt that Dokey’s actions signaled that he no longer valued their years of hard work together. “He thought he was bigger than the duo,” Hatim said, referencing Dokey’s desire to go solo and how it added to the growing tension between them.
Despite their differences, Hatim and Dokey’s story didn’t end in bitterness. There was a turning point when the two eventually reconciled, thanks to the intervention of Pretty Banks, a mutual friend who helped mediate their differences.
