Burna Boy Breaks Silence On Clash With Wizkid’s DJ Tunez, Says He Delivered Just Two Slaps

Burna Boy has finally spoken out about the heated altercation with DJ Tunez at Obi Cubana’s house in Lagos. In a new video that surfaced online, the Grammy winner explained his version of events to colleague Shallipopi, who listened quietly without interrupting.

He insisted only he was involved in the physical exchange. “No be 10 people beat DJ Tunez, na only me and na only two slaps I give am. I swear with my mama, if I dey lie make ogun carry my mama go anywhere wey Wizkid mama dey… he come go dey tweet, I think say he go send squad. Na internet their own power dey,” Burna Boy stated in the clip.

The singer claimed he specifically told his team not to touch DJ Tunez. He expressed surprise that Wizkid, whose DJ was at the centre of the matter, responded only through tweets instead of direct confrontation.

The incident, which happened a few days ago at the popular Lagos hangout, quickly went viral with multiple clips showing the scuffle. DJ Tunez had earlier alleged he was attacked from behind and defended himself against multiple people.

NaijaChoice News monitored the rapid spread of Burna Boy’s explanation video across social media platforms. It has triggered fresh debates among Afrobeats fans, with some praising his candour while others questioned the need to drag Wizkid into the conversation.

In a swift industry response, the Nigerian DJ Association announced a temporary ban on Burna Boy’s songs. The body directed all its members nationwide and abroad to drop his tracks from playlists pending full investigation into the clash involving one of their own.

Wizkid has also weighed in on the matter through a series of tweets. He blasted Burna Boy’s decision to explain the incident on camera, with some reports quoting him describing the move as unwise.

The development has once again highlighted simmering tensions within Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene. While no official police report has surfaced, the episode continues to dominate conversations in entertainment circles, with Shallipopi’s calm demeanour during the live chat drawing its own share of memes and commentary.

As the story unfolds, stakeholders in the music industry are watching closely to see if the matter will be resolved privately or escalate further on social media.
