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.
Iconic Nigerian actor, Olu Jacob has been embarked on his final earthly journey.
He was buried at a private cemetery in Lagos on Friday October 2, 2026 after a funeral service.
The funeral service which was attended by actors and other public figures was held at Freedom Center, Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos State.
Recall that the 84-year-old died September 16, 2026 after a long battle with Dementia with Lewy bodies, DLB.
Among those in attendance were the Lagos State Deputy governor, Obafemi Hamzat; former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun; Lagos State First Lady, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; former first lady of Ekiti State, Bisi Fayemi and Hannatu Musawa, the Minister of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy.

Phyna, whose real name is Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, stopped Nkechi Blessing in their scheduled four-round celebrity contest at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. After the fight, the former Big Brother Naija winner named Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia, as her next target, claiming that she had been disturbing her through her direct messages (DMs).
Etinosa accepted the challenge, setting up the possibility of another celebrity boxing contest. Phyna also announced that she intends to pursue professional boxing, indicating that her appearance against Nkechi could be the beginning of a longer career in the sport.
