The personal disc jockey to Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, known as DJ Tunez, has come under heavy criticism after making derogatory comments about the music of Burna Boy during a recent performance in London.
The incident occurred at a London club where DJ Tunez was performing live. While playing Burna Boy’s hit song Last Last, he reportedly muted the vocals mid performance and referred to the music as rubbish. The moment was captured on video and has since circulated widely on social media, triggering intense debate among fans.
The reaction from the aunce was mixed, with some cheering the comment while others visibly disapproved of the statement. The clip has continued to generate backlash online, with many users accusing DJ Tunez of escalating tensions within the Afrobeats industry and disrespecting one of Africa’s most prominent music exports.
The controversy comes weeks after reports of a physical altercation involving Burna Boy’s team and DJ Tunez at a Lagos venue, which reportedly led to a temporary suspension process by the DJs Association of Nigeria while investigations were ongoing.
Social media reactions have remained divided, with some fans defending DJ Tunez while others warn that the ongoing dispute could further deepen industry rivalries.
