DJ Tunez, the official DJ of Afrobeats star Wizkid, has stirred fresh controversy after publicly mocking the music of Burna Boy during a recent club performance in London.
The incident comes weeks after the reported altercation between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez at Obi’s House in Lagos, an incident that generated widespread reactions across Nigeria’s entertainment industry.

New Daily Prime recalls that Burna Boy and members of his team were accused of assaulting DJ Tunez during the Lagos event.
The controversy later prompted the DJs’ Association of Nigeria to temporarily suspend Burna Boy’s music from members’ playlists pending the outcome of an investigation into the alleged attack.
Amid the ongoing tension, DJ Tunez appeared to reignite the feud during a performance at a nightclub in London.
In a viral clip circulating online, the disc jockey was seen playing Burna Boy’s hit song Last Last during his set.
However, instead of allowing the song to play normally, he muted Burna Boy’s vocals before making a controversial remark about the singer’s music.
According to the video, DJ Tunez described Burna Boy’s music as “rubbish”, a statement that immediately drew loud reactions from people in the club.
Some members of the audience cheered and laughed at the comment, while others appeared shocked by the public jab directed at the Grammy-winning singer.
The clip has since sparked widespread debate on social media, with many users accusing DJ Tunez of unnecessarily escalating the already tense situation between the two camps.
Several fans argued that the DJ’s actions could further deepen the rivalry between Wizkid and Burna Boy supporters, two of the biggest figures in Afrobeats.
Others warned that the public mockery could provoke another confrontation, especially considering the unresolved nature of the previous incident involving the two entertainers.
Some social media users also criticised DJ Tunez for playing the song while simultaneously insulting it, questioning why he included Burna Boy’s music in his set if he truly considered it “rubbish”.
However, supporters of the DJ defended his actions, claiming he had every right to react after the alleged assault incident in Lagos.
The feud between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez has become one of the most talked-about conflicts in the Nigerian entertainment industry in recent weeks, especially after Wizkid publicly condemned Burna Boy over the incident.
Following the alleged attack, Wizkid had accused Burna Boy of ganging up with multiple people against his DJ, an accusation Burna Boy later denied during a livestream.
Burna Boy admitted slapping DJ Tunez but insisted he acted alone and not with ten men as widely claimed online.
Despite the controversy, neither Burna Boy nor his management has officially responded to DJ Tunez’s latest remarks in London.
The situation continues to generate heated discussions among fans of both artists, with many worried that the rivalry between Afrobeats camps is becoming increasingly toxic.
As the DJs Association of Nigeria’s investigation remains ongoing, observers within the entertainment industry have continued to call for calm and reconciliation to prevent further escalation between the parties involved.
