Wizkid criticises Burna Boy following altercation involving DJ Tunez in Lagos

Nigerian music stars Wizkid and Burna Boy have found themselves at the centre of a heated dispute after an alleged physical altercation involving Wizkid’s official DJ, Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, known as DJ Tunez. The confrontation reportedly took place at Obi’s House, a popular nightlife venue in Lagos, where an argument between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez allegedly turned violent. Videos and eyewitness accounts circulating online show that what started as a verbal disagreement escalated quickly into a physical scuffle, with DJ Tunez later claiming he was attacked from behind and outnumbered. Wizkid, angered by the event, took to social media to denounce Burna Boy, calling him a coward who depends on groups rather than standing as a man. In response, Burna Boy mocked Wizkid through a viral video, claiming that Wizkid only finds power on the internet and not in real life, dismissing him as an online fighter. Burna Boy also shared another clip taunting DJ Tunez by tweaking lyrics of a song to reference the DJ. The incident has drawn significant attention across Nigerian entertainment circles, prompting the Nigerian DJ Association to temporarily suspend Burna Boy’s music from national playlists. Meanwhile, DJ Tunez expressed his disappointment and frustration, thanking fans for their concern and revealing that the confrontation left him shaken both professionally and personally. Burna Boy’s management has yet to issue any official response as the situation continues to spark strong reactions within the music industry.
