The situation between DJ Tunez and Burna Boy began on social media when DJ Tunez shared tweets about loyalty and fake friendships in the music industry.
Although he didn’t mention any name, many fans believed the message was directed at Burna Boy, which quickly sparked reactions online.
Burna Boy later responded indirectly, making it clear through his posts that he doesn’t depend on industry friendships and is focused on his own success, a move fans saw as a subtle clapback.
The situation later moved offline with reports of a confrontation at Obi’s House in Lagos, where both camps were present. It was alleged that DJ Tunez played an unreleased Burna Boy song during his set, which Burna Boy was not comfortable with.
This reportedly led to a heated exchange that escalated into a brief physical scuffle before security intervened. After the incident, DJ Tunez reacted online, while Burna Boy chose to remain indirect and made no clear public statement.
For now, there is no official confirmation of a serious ongoing beef, but the situation has grown from subtle online posts into a real-life clash, making it one of the most talked-about moments in the Afrobeats scene, largely driven by fan reactions and speculation rather than clear statements from both sides.
