DJ Tunez, the official disc jockey for Wizkid, has drawn widespread reactions after making a critical remark about the music of Burna Boy during a recent performance in London.
The incident comes amid an ongoing dispute between both camps, following an alleged altercation involving Burna Boy and DJ Tunez at Obi’s House in Lagos. Reports had earlier suggested that the confrontation led the DJs Association of Nigeria to temporarily suspend Burna Boy while investigations were underway.
During his London club set, DJ Tunez played Burna Boy’s popular track Last Last but muted the vocals before openly dismissing the song, referring to it as “rubbish.” The moment was captured on video and has since circulated widely on social media.
Reactions from the audience at the venue were mixed, with some cheering the DJ’s comments while others appeared uncomfortable with the public criticism.
Online, the clip has triggered divided opinions. While some fans defended DJ Tunez’s actions as a response to earlier tensions, others accused him of escalating an already sensitive situation within the Afrobeats industry and warned it could provoke further backlash.
Neither Burna Boy nor his representatives have issued an official response to the latest comments at the time of reporting.
The incident adds another layer to the growing tension between both parties, which continues to generate debate across Nigeria’s entertainment space.
