Popular Nigerian Afrobeat superstar, Burna Boy, has publicly challenged Wizkid to a physical confrontation, intensifying the ongoing feud between the two music icons.
The challenge comes just hours after Wizkid criticized Burna Boy and his entourage for allegedly attacking DJ Tunez at a Lagos nightclub on Monday night. The incident reportedly occurred when the DJ, who is Wizkid’s official DJ, did not play Burna Boy’s tracks during his set. Videos of the altercation quickly went viral on social media, sparking widespread debate among fans.
Burna Boy, in a video shared online, claimed that he was the only one responsible for slapping DJ Tunez, dismissing reports that multiple people were involved. He then turned his attention to Wizkid, suggesting that the singer’s influence exists mostly online.
“Wizkid come go dey tweet. Na internet their own power dey. We na real life our own power dey. I thought DJ Tunez go call his oga, and his oga go do something or send people but na tweet Wizkid con dey tweet,” Burna Boy said in the viral clip, speaking in Pidgin English.
The video has further fueled tensions among fans, who have taken to social media to debate the merits of the claims and speculate on what might happen next. The Nigerian DJ Association had previously released a statement urging DJs to remain professional and respectful at events, temporarily banning Burna Boy’s music as part of an ongoing investigation into the nightclub incident.
As of now, neither Wizkid nor his management team has publicly responded to Burna Boy’s challenge, and the music community remains on edge as fans anticipate the next move in one of Nigeria’s most talked-about entertainment disputes.
