A fresh layer of drama has engulfed Nigeria’s music scene after Wizkid publicly took aim at Burna Boy, escalating tensions following a clash involving DJ Tunez in Lagos.
The fallout stems from an altercation at Obi’s House, a high-profile nightlife spot in Lagos, where DJ Tunez—popularly known as Ogbafia—reportedly had a heated confrontation with Burna Boy that turned physical.
Hours after the incident, Burna Boy appeared to mock the DJ in a social media post, sharing a video of himself dancing to his song “Money Constant” while altering the lyrics to “Ogbafia dey for ground.” The move was widely interpreted as a jab at DJ Tunez following their clash.
Wizkid, who has a long-standing working relationship with DJ Tunez, quickly reacted with a pointed message on X, taking an indirect swipe at Burna Boy and referencing his perceived ties to Sean Combs, also known as Diddy.
“P** nigga Jump a dj with 10man carry diddy towel Dey dance. I never see fool like this diddy babe for my life,” Wizkid wrote, punctuating the post with laughter emojis.
The comment has since stirred intense reactions online, with fans and industry watchers weighing in on the deepening rift between two of Afrobeats’ biggest global figures.
In a further twist, the Nigerian DJ Association announced a temporary ban on Burna Boy’s music, pending an investigation into the incident. The decision signals potential industry-wide repercussions if the dispute is not quickly resolved.
While neither Burna Boy nor DJ Tunez has issued a formal statement detailing the full circumstances of the altercation, the situation continues to unfold, raising questions about professionalism, influence, and accountability within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
