Nigerian DJs Association Bans Members From Playing Burna Boy's Songs Over Altercation With DJ Tunez

The association said the ban will stay until its investigation ends and urged DJs to reject hostility and discrimination.

  • On Tuesday, the Nigerian DJ Association announced a temporary ban on music by Grammy-winning singer Damini "Burna Boy" Ogulu following a physical altercation involving disc jockey Michael "DJ Tunez" Adeyinka.
  • The incident occurred Monday at a Lagos Afrobeats gathering where Burna Boy and his entourage allegedly assaulted Adeyinka in what reports describe as an unprovoked "1 vs 10" confrontation.
  • Viral videos show Burna Boy mocking Tunez, prompting criticism from fellow artist Wizkid, who blasted the singer for the alleged attack during a social media exchange.
  • The NDJ condemned "acts of hostility and division within the industry," urging stakeholders to prioritize professionalism while confirming an internal investigation into the incident is underway.
  • While not legally binding, the suspension carries symbolic weight as the NDJ aims to protect its members and promote unity across Nigeria's entertainment and nightlife spaces.
