| DJAN Refutes Burna Boy Music Ban Rumors; Clarifies DJ Tunez is Not a Member |
In a statement released Thursday, DJAN National President Prince Akim Edeh labeled the reports as "false and misleading," urging media outlets to stop spreading misinformation and condemning the unauthorized use of the association's logo.
While the association is monitoring investigations into the incident, it clarified its commitment to maintaining a healthy music environment and notably revealed that DJ Tunez is not a registered member of DJAN.
The statement read in part: “We noted with grave concern reports surrounding a recent incident involving a Disc Jockey and Burna Boy. As a body dedicated to the growth and integrity of the entertainment industry, we maintain a firm and unwavering stance against any form of violence or physical confrontation. We are currently monitoring ongoing investigations.
“DJAN remains committed to fostering a healthy and collaborative environment between all practitioners and performing artists within the music space.
“We urge the public to remain calm and allow the relevant authorities to investigate the matter.
“We didn’t and have no intention to place ban on Burna Boy’s music or any other artist.”
The incident reportedly took place at Obi’s House, a well-known weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos, where DJ Tunez was allegedly assaulted. According to reports, the confrontation was sparked by DJ Tunez playing Wizkid’s tracks instead of Burna Boy’s music.
