Grammy-winning Nigerian star Burna Boy has mocked DJ Tunez following a physical altercation with the disc jockey at Obi’s House, a popular Afrobeats event in Lagos.

n

While the cause of the clash on Monday remains unclear, speculation has linked it to lingering industry tensions, particularly DJ Tunez’s close ties with Wizkid.

n

Eyewitness accounts on social media claimed members of Burna Boy’s entourage got involved before the situation was brought under control.

n

The situation took another turn when DJ Tunez, also known as Ogbafia, appeared to take a swipe at Burna Boy online, calling him a “coward” and posting “All Signs of Weakness,” a dig at the singer’s 2025 album No Sign of Weakness.

n

Burna Boy responded with a mocking video, dancing to ‘Money Constant’ while altering a lyric from “Ogbafia dey my side” to “Ogbafia dey for ground,” before dramatically falling, an apparent jab at the DJ.

n

The fallout deepened on Tuesday as the Nigerian DJ Association announced a temporary ban on Burna Boy’s music across DJs’ playlists nationwide.

n

“Burna Boy music is temporarily out of any of our DJs’ playlists till further notice,” the association said.

n

“Our team will carry out a proper investigation on last night’s incident that happened to one of our own, DJ Tunez.”
