Afrobeats clash: Wizkid lashes out violently at Burna Boy after an alleged assault

The Nigerian music scene is shaken by a new controversy involving Wizkid and Burna Boy, against the backdrop of an altercation with DJ Tunez. According to several local sources, Wizkid’s official DJ was assaulted Monday night in a nightclub in Lagos after refusing to play a Burna Boy track. The incident reportedly involved the artist and members of his entourage, causing strong outrage within the community.

In response, the Nigerian DJs Association reportedly decided to temporarily remove Burna Boy’s tracks from playlists across the country. Tensions escalated after a video surfaced showing Burna Boy dancing, towel in hand, in what was perceived as a provocation towards DJ Tunez. The clip sparked Wizkid’s anger. On the social platform X, he did not mince words: ” This coward jumps on a DJ with 10 men carrying a towel Diddy and they dance. I have never seen a fool like this Diddy Babe in my life.”

In the background, some rumors mention supposed links between Burna Boy and Diddy, recently at the center of controversies. These accusations were firmly denied by the Nigerian artist, who insists their relationship is strictly professional. This case, widely discussed on social media, once again illustrates the persistent tensions between major figures of afrobeat, in an already charged atmosphere.
