The simmering tension between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez has taken a dramatic turn, with Wizkid wading into the controversy in a manner that has set social media ablaze.
In what many fans interpret as a direct jab, Wizkid appeared to mock Burna Boy by referring to him as music mogul Sean Combs’s “babe,” while also sharing an image of a bottle of Johnson’s baby oil — a move widely seen as loaded with insinuation.
The post comes on the heels of an alleged clash between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez, a close associate of Wizkid, further fuelling speculation of deepening cracks within the Afrobeats elite.
The feud itself has been brewing beneath the surface. What began as subtle jabs and unspoken friction quickly escalated into a full-blown talking point after reports emerged that Burna Boy and members of his crew were involved in a confrontation with DJ Tunez at a nightclub on April 6, 2026. Eyewitness accounts circulating online claim the disagreement turned physical, with the DJ allegedly on the receiving end, though these claims remain unverified.
DJ Tunez had earlier hinted at trouble in a cryptic post, tweeting, “Ogbafia number 1 don wake o,” a remark that only intensified speculation.
As tensions mounted, popular blogger Tunde Ednut weighed in, warning of potential fallout.
“Funny enough, nobody fit touch Wizkid like that o. Everywhere go scatter o. Burna no go fit perform again o,” he wrote, referencing the reported attack on DJ Tunez.
Adding fuel to the fire, social media user Benny (@1BENNY7G) resurfaced an old video of Wizkid with Sean Combs, alleging that the Nigerian superstar once spent a week at the American mogul’s mansion.
“Let be known that Wizkid is the first African artist to be with Diddy… if you pay attention to this video, you’ll notice he wasn’t walking properly. Don’t say anything, just repost for the whole world to see this!” the post read, further stoking controversy online.
The unfolding drama underscores the fragile alliances and underlying rivalries within Afrobeats—a genre that has achieved global acclaim but continues to grapple with ego, loyalty, and competition among its biggest stars.
As of press time, neither Wizkid nor Burna Boy has issued an official statement addressing the nightclub incident or the escalating war of words.
