THE TRUTH ABOUT POKOT BOY THAT NO ONE WANTS TO SAY LOUDLY
It's time we stop sugarcoating and say it as it is. Pokot Boy joined the Kalenjin Banger music scene through a door that was opened by Mr. Real Pokot the pioneer and founder of the movement. But what followed next is nothing short of betrayal, pride, and selfishness.
NO RECOGNITION TO THE PIONEER
Since stepping into the industry, Pokot Boy has NEVER publicly recognized or appreciated Mr. Real Pokot the very man whose vision birthed the Kalenjin Banger wave. How do you walk through someone’s foundation and pretend you built the house alone?
THE "OKUMBÖ TAGH" SAGA
We all know the viral hit Okumbö Tagh the song that put Pokot Boy in the national spotlight. But behind that fame is KASETO, the real brain behind the catchy verse that everyone sings today. Yet, to this day, Kaseto remains in the shadows, uncredited, unappreciated. Instead, Pokot Boy claimed the spotlight and ownership of a song he didn’t create alone. Where is the integrity?
SELF-CENTERED RISE
Despite performing on big stages, Pokot Boy has never lifted even one fellow Pokot artist with him. He chooses to walk alone, keeping the gate locked behind him. This isn’t growth it’s selfishness dressed in success.
SILENCING THE REAL VOICES
Now, when bold voices come out to question this unfairness, they are labelled haters. But they are NOT the problem they are the voice of truth in a system that continues to ignore fairness and brotherhood.
Let’s be clear Pokot Boy may be smart and strategic, and yes, he knows how to take small opportunities and turn them into big wins. That’s commendable. BUT success without gratitude, humility, and lifting others is hollow.
The Pokot music industry deserves better. We must support artists who are not just about themselves, but about the growth of the whole community.
