The Nigerian DJ Association has instructed its members, both locally and internationally, to refrain from playing music by Burna Boy after an incident involving DJ Tunez.
The directive follows reports of a confrontation between the two at a private gathering in Lagos.
According to reports, a disagreement between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez escalated into a tense exchange, which reportedly drew in members of the singer’s team before the situation was eventually contained.
In response, the DJ association moved to express support for DJ Tunez, describing the incident as troubling and emphasizing the need for mutual respect within the entertainment industry. The group stated that DJs play a key role in promoting artists and should be treated as equal stakeholders in the music ecosystem.
As part of its resolution, the association announced a temporary halt on Burna Boy’s songs across DJ sets, noting that the measure will remain in effect while the matter is being reviewed.
The development has stirred conversation across the industry, with many observers pointing to the delicate relationship between performers and DJs, whose collaboration is essential to music visibility and audience reach.
At the time of filing this report, neither Burna Boy nor DJ Tunez has issued a comprehensive public response regarding the the decision taken by the DJs’ body.
