Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweight Burna Boy has finally broken his silence on the controversy surrounding his clash with DJ Tunez — and his comments are already shaking the internet.
During a recent Instagram Live session, the Grammy-winning star addressed the situation head-on, dismissing widespread reports that his crew attacked the popular DJ. According to him, the narrative has been blown out of proportion. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Burna Boy made it clear that he alone was responsible for the encounter, claiming it was far less intense than people have made it seem.
In his words, the altercation involved only him and DJ Tunez, adding that it was limited to just a couple of slaps — nothing more.
But what truly caught fans’ attention was his reaction toward fellow superstar Wizkid.
Burna Boy expressed disappointment that Wizkid did not reach out privately following the incident. Instead, he accused him of choosing social media over direct communication — something he clearly didn’t respect.
Throwing subtle but sharp shade, Burna suggested that Wizkid’s influence doesn’t extend beyond the internet. He implied that while some rely on online presence, others operate differently in real life.
He also revealed that he had expected a stronger, more direct response after the incident but was surprised when things played out online instead.
The statement has since sparked massive reactions across social media, with fans of both camps clashing over who handled the situation better.
As tensions rise, this latest development adds another chapter to the long-standing rivalry between two of Nigeria’s biggest music exports — and fans are watching closely to see what happens next.
