In a post shared by @DJ_TUNEZ on X, the acclaimed disc jockey broke his silence following a chaotic viral video that allegedly showed him in a physical scuffle with Grammy-winner Burna Boy. The incident, which reportedly took place at a high-end private gathering hosted by nightlife mogul Obi Cubana in Lagos, trended throughout the morning as fans dissected low-quality footage of security guards intervening between two men who appeared to be exchanging blows.
Reporting on the fallout, Daily Post Nigeria confirmed the authenticity of the location and the tension, quoting DJ Tunez’s cryptic response: “OGBAFIA NUMBER 1 DON WAKE OO.” Furthermore, popular Instagram blog Instablog9ja shared eyewitness accounts from the scene, with one attendee stating, “The energy shifted instantly when the confrontation started.”
**Echotitbits take:** While neither camp has released an official legal statement, the public “shouting match” on social media suggests a significant rift within the Afrobeats inner circle. DJ Tunez is traditionally seen as a bridge-builder, so a fallout with Burna Boy could signal deeper industry tensions or a simple nightlife misunderstanding gone wrong. We are watching for a direct response from Burna Boy’s management (Spaceship) to see if this escalates.
