The Deejays Association of Nigeria (DJAN) has dismissed reports that it placed a ban on all music by Burna Boy, following a physical altercation between the Grammy-winning singer and DJ Tunez.

The altercation took place on Monday at Obi’s House, a well-known weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos.

What began as a heated argument between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez escalated into a physical confrontation, with members of Burna Boy’s team allegedly joining in before bystanders intervened to restore order.

The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, but social media users have speculated that the clash may be rooted in long-standing industry rivalries — particularly DJ Tunez’s close affiliation with Wizkid, who is often pitted against Burna Boy in fan-led comparisons.

Following the incident, the Nigerian DJ Association (NDJ) had announced a boycott of Burna Boy’s music across its network until further notice.

However, in a recent Instagram post, the DJAN dismissed the reports, stating that DJ Tunez is not a registered member of the group and that the association “did not place any ban on Burna Boy’s music” or any other artiste.

They described the publication as a ”spread of misinformation” and also warned media outlets and the public against spreading such unverified reports.
