BREAKING: Wizkid Blasts Burna Boy Over Alleged Assault on DJ Tunez

 

Tensions appear to be rising once again within Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene as reports emerge of a heated fallout involving Wizkid and Burna Boy, following an alleged physical altercation with DJ Tunez. The incident, said to have taken place at a popular Lagos nightlife event, has sparked widespread reactions across social media and the entertainment industry.

According to early reports, what began as a verbal disagreement between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez escalated into a physical confrontation. Witnesses claim the situation intensified quickly, with members of Burna Boy’s entourage allegedly joining in before onlookers intervened to restore calm. 

DJ Tunez, widely known as Wizkid’s longtime collaborator and official DJ under the Starboy label, is a respected figure in the Afrobeats community. His close professional relationship with Wizkid has fueled speculation that the altercation may have deeper roots tied to ongoing rivalries within the industry. 

In the wake of the incident, unconfirmed reports suggest that Wizkid reacted angrily, allegedly calling out Burna Boy over the treatment of his DJ. While neither artist has issued an official public statement at the time of reporting, insiders hint that tensions between the two global stars may have reached a new peak.

Adding to the controversy, the Nigerian DJ Association (NDJ) has reportedly taken a strong stance, announcing a temporary boycott of Burna Boy’s music across its network. The group condemned violence within the entertainment space and emphasized the need to protect DJs nationwide.
