Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning singer, has denied claims that he teamed up with 10 men to attack DJ Tunez during their recent physical altercation.
The fight happened on Monday at Obi’s House, a popular
weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos.
What started as a heated argument between the two quickly
escalated into a physical confrontation, with members of Burna Boy’s team
allegedly joining in before bystanders stepped in to restore order.
The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, but online
speculation suggests it may be linked to long-standing industry rivalries —
especially DJ Tunez’s close association with Wizkid, who fans often compare to
Burna Boy.
Wizkid reacted to the incident on Wednesday with a swipe at
Burna Boy, referring to his colleague as a “coward” for allegedly attacking
Tunez with the help of ten other men.
However, in a recent Instagram live video, Burna Boy is seen
explaining the incident to fellow singer Shallipopi, insisting he acted alone.
“Shalli, it was not 10 people that touched that guy, it was
only me. I swear by my mother. If I am lying, let Ogun take my mother to
wherever Wizkid’s mother is. It was only me, and I gave him two slaps,” he
said.
DJ Tunez, also known as Ogbafia, had earlier aimed a dig at
Burna Boy, calling him a “coward” and posting “All Signs of Weakness” — a twist
on Burna Boy’s album title ‘No Sign of Weakness’.
Burna Boy responded with a mocking video. In the clip, he is
seen dancing to ‘Money Constant’ by DJ Tunez featuring Wizkid, DJ Maphorisa,
and Mavo.
While singing along, he changed the lyric “Ogbafia dey my
side” to “Ogbafia dey for ground,” then dramatically fell — a move widely seen
as a jab at DJ Tunez.
The controversy escalated on Tuesday when the Nigerian DJ
Association announced a ban on Burna Boy’s music.
