Burna Boy Banned from DJ Playlists After Alleged Fight with DJ Tunez

Burna Boy Banned from DJ Playlists After Alleged Fight with DJ Tunez

The Nigerian DJ Association (NDJ) has officially banned Burna Boy’s music following his reported physical fight with DJ Tunez. The altercation took place this past Monday at "Obi’s House," a well-known weekly event in Lagos.

Witnesses say a heated argument between the two stars turned violent, with Burna Boy’s crew allegedly joining the scuffle before bystanders broke it up. While the exact trigger for the fight is unknown, many believe it stems from the ongoing rivalry between Burna Boy and Wizkid, as DJ Tunez is Wizkid’s official DJ.

In a statement posted to Instagram, the NDJ condemned the hostility and called for unity in the industry, making it clear that they will not tolerate such behavior toward their members.

“No one is born hating another because of the skin colour, religion, background or gender. People simply learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can also be taught to love since love comes naturally to the human heart than its opposite,” the statement reads.

“Please note: That Here at NigerianDJ, we put all our DJs first, standing firm on “ALL DJs are EQUAL”, offering a transparent and personal service to help our DJs and clients achieve their goals and ambitions, both in Home 🇳🇬 and in Diaspora.

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? Such are the places where every Male and Female #NDJ seek equal justice, equal opportunity and equal dignity without discrimination, irrespective of where it’s coming from, be it from a fellow NDJ or NON NDJ.

“Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerned our #NDJ actions to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world of DJing in Nigeria as a whole.”

“However, We plead with all communities #NDJ to please be tolerant—to reject prejudice based on cast, creed, sect, religion or gender. To please ensure freedom and equality for all the DJs nationwide, so that they can flourish. We cannot all succeed when half of us are being held back.

“The NigerianDJ is fully against the Discrimination of any of its #NDJ.”

The association has officially blacklisted Burna Boy’s music across its entire network until their investigation into the matter is complete.

“Burna Boy Music is temporary out of any of our DJs playlist till further notice, our team will carry out a proper investigation on last night incident that happened to one of our own, DJ Tunez,” it added.
