Nigerian disc jockey Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, better known as DJ Tunez, has addressed a viral video that appears to show him in a physical altercation with Afrobeat star Burna Boy at a Lagos party. The footage, which has circulated widely online, shows the two celebrities exchanging punches before security personnel intervened. The incident reportedly occurred at the residence of nightlife entrepreneur Obi Cubana in Lagos.
DJ Tunez responded to the incident on his X account, posting: “OGBAFIA NUMBER 1 DON WAKE OO.” The message has fueled further speculation, though its exact meaning remains unclear. As of now, Burna Boy and his representatives have not issued an official statement regarding the altercation. Fellow Afrobeat star Wizkid has also not commented publicly on the matter.
The video has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with fans and observers debating the circumstances surrounding the clash. Neither DJ Tunez nor Burna Boy has provided additional details about what led to the confrontation. Security intervention in the video suggests the altercation was brief and contained, but the full context remains unknown.
The incident highlights the intense public interest in the personal lives of Nigeria’s top music figures. Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning artist, and DJ Tunez, a prominent figure in the Afrobeat scene, both command large followings. Any dispute between high-profile artists often attracts significant media attention and fan speculation.
For now, both parties have remained silent beyond DJ Tunez’s cryptic social media post. Media outlets and fans alike await further clarification from those directly involved. Until then, the viral video continues to generate debate across Nigeria and beyond.
