US EditionNigerian DJs Association Bans Members From Playing Burna Boy's Songs Over Altercation With DJ Tunez
The association said the temporary ban will stay in place until its investigation into the altercation is complete.
- On Tuesday, the Nigerian DJ Association officially banned all music by 34-year-old Grammy-winning singer Damini 'Burna Boy' Ogulu from member playlists, citing 'acts of hostility and division within the industry.'
- The decision follows a physical altercation on Monday at a Lagos Afrobeats gathering, where Burna Boy and his entourage allegedly confronted disc jockey Michael 'DJ Tunez' Adeyinka over song selections.
- Describing a '1 vs 10' situation, Adeyinka alleged the confrontation was unprovoked, stating 'You hit me in the back of my head without me looking.' Viral videos circulating Wednesday show the aftermath.
- Fellow artist Wizkid publicly criticized the singer, accusing him of attacking Adeyinka with a large team and mocking him in a towel dance video, while referencing allegations regarding his association with American rapper Diddy.
- The NDJ stated it will conduct a 'proper investigation' into the incident, condemning discrimination and emphasizing that 'all DJs are equal' while urging stakeholders to promote professionalism across the industry.
