The Nigerian DJ Association (NDJ) has announced a ban on all music by Burna Boy following a physical altercation involving him and DJ Tunez.
The incident took place on Monday at Obi’s House, a well-known weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos.
What began as a heated argument between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez is said to have escalated into a physical confrontation, with members of Burna Boy’s team allegedly joining in before bystanders intervened to restore order.
The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, but social media users have speculated that the clash may be rooted in long-standing industry rivalries, particularly DJ Tunez’s close affiliation with Wizkid — a frequent subject of fan-led comparisons with Burna Boy.
In response, the NDJ issued a lengthy statement on Instagram condemning discrimination and hostility, while calling for unity and respect within the entertainment industry.
“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 more 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 considering 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 concluded by announcing a boycott of Burna Boy’s music across its network until further notice.
“Burna Boy Music is temporarily out of any of our DJs’ playlists till further notice. Our team will carry out a proper investigation into last night’s incident that happened to one of our own, DJ Tunez,” it added.
Burna Boy has not publicly commented on the incident as of the time of this report.

Davido reacts as President Tinubu calls his Uncle, Gov Adeleke, moments after he ordered EFCC to vacate court order freezing Osun state govt account
Award-winning Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that he was present when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu personally called Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke to inform him that he had directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to lift the freeze placed on the state’s bank accounts.
The Afrobeats star made the disclosure on social media shortly after the Presidency confirmed that the President intervened in the matter, describing the moment as one of historical significance.
“I was there live! I witnessed history,” Davido wrote, suggesting that he personally witnessed the high-level telephone conversation between the President and the governor.
The development followed the EFCC’s decision to freeze the Osun State Government’s bank accounts on August 5, 2026, barely ten days before the state’s governorship election, a move that immediately generated widespread political reactions and concerns about its timing.
President Tinubu later issued a personal statement expressing discomfort over the action, saying he was “deeply embarrassed” by the timing of the account freeze because it could create the impression that the Federal Government was attempting to influence the forthcoming governorship election.
According to the President, regardless of the reasons behind the anti-graft agency’s decision, the action risked undermining public confidence in the electoral process and could be interpreted as federal interference in Osun State’s political affairs.
Following the President’s intervention, his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed that Tinubu personally contacted Governor Adeleke to inform him that he had instructed the EFCC to reverse the decision and unfreeze the state’s accounts.
The reversal has since attracted significant public attention, particularly because it came after the President publicly distanced himself from the timing of the anti-corruption agency’s action.
Davido’s revelation that he witnessed the conversation has further fueled discussions online, with many social media users reacting to the singer’s proximity to the unfolding political development.
Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking re-election in the upcoming governorship poll, is also Davido’s uncle, making the singer’s presence during the conversation unsurprising to many observers.
The lifting of the freeze is expected to allow the Osun State Government to regain access to its financial resources as preparations continue ahead of the governorship election.

Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charly Boy has responded to Nigerians who have questioned his sexuality and labelled him gay.
The entertainer addressed the issue in a post shared on his Instagram page, saying he was unbothered by the speculation surrounding his sexuality.
According to Charly Boy, some Nigerians have openly described him as gay over the years, but he has refused to allow the comments to affect him.
“For years, many have questioned my sexuality, some have openly called me gay.
“Anything una like make una talk, because I know for many Nigerians, dey are still living under the rock,” he wrote.
Charly Boy also spoke about embracing his feminine side, arguing that doing so does not make a man less masculine.
“Embracing ones feminine side isn’t about becoming less of a man—it’s about becoming more of a human being.
“It’s about having access to the full spectrum of human experience: strength and vulnerability, logic and intuition, independence and connection.”
Concluding his message, the entertainer appeared to dismiss his critics, writing, “If u know u know. I no send ur father.”
