The much-talked-about clash between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez at a private Lagos event has refused to die down. The Grammy-winning superstar has now broken his silence, giving his own version of events in a trending video.
What Really Happened?
The incident occurred on the night of April 6/7, 2026, at Obi Cubana’s popular weekly gathering in Lagos. Videos that surfaced online showed a heated confrontation near the DJ booth that quickly turned physical. DJ Tunez—a longtime official DJ for Wizkid— was allegedly involved in a scuffle with Burna Boy and members of his entourage.
Burna Boy, in a video recorded with Shallipopi, addressed the matter directly and emotionally:
“No be 10 people beat DJ Tunez. Na only me. Na only me give am two slaps. I tell everybody make nobody touch am. I swear on my mama!”
He insisted he acted alone and even stopped his team from joining the altercation. Burna Boy also questioned why Wizkid commented publicly instead of reaching out to him privately to resolve the issue.
Industry Reaction
The Nigerian DJs Association (DJAN) initially announced a temporary nationwide boycott of Burna Boy’s music in solidarity with DJ Tunez. However, the association later clarified that the boycott statement was not official, leading to confusion in the industry.
Wizkid also weighed in on the matter, with many interpreting his posts as support for his DJ. The situation has once again thrown the subtle Big 3 (Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido) tension into the spotlight.
DJ Tunez himself has confirmed the fight happened but has kept further details low-key while recovering
What’s Next?
The incident has divided public opinion — some condemn the use of violence, while others see it as typical celebrity nightlife drama that was overblown. For now, Burna Boy appears unfazed, focusing on his music and international tour dates.
This latest chapter adds to Burna Boy’s reputation as one of Nigeria’s most talented yet controversial and outspoken superstars. Whether this saga fades quickly or continues to generate headlines, one thing is clear: the African giant is still very much in the news—both on stage and off it.
