The Nigerian DJ Association (NDJ) has imposed a temporary ban on all Burna Boy songs, instructing DJs nationwide and abroad to remove the artist from their playlists after a reported altercation with DJ Tunez at a private Lagos nightclub.
According to eyewitness accounts, Burna Boy and members of his entourage were involved in a physical confrontation with DJ Tunez, also known as Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, during a nightclub visit. Sources claim the disagreement escalated into a scuffle involving multiple individuals, leaving DJ Tunez reportedly assaulted.
In a statement shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the NDJ expressed full support for DJ Tunez and emphasized the importance of professionalism and solidarity among DJs. The association urged all members to refrain from playing Burna Boy’s music until further notice.
“Burna Boy’s music is temporarily out of any of our DJs’ playlists till further notice,” the statement read. “Our team will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident involving DJ Tunez, and we urge all DJs to remain vigilant and respectful toward artists at their events.”
The NDJ also highlighted its commitment to equality, tolerance, and non-discrimination, stating that DJs should have equal opportunities regardless of caste, religion, gender, or background. “We cannot all succeed when half of us are being held back,” the statement added.
As of now, Burna Boy’s management team has not issued an official response regarding the ban or the incident.
This move underscores the NDJ’s dedication to protecting its members and maintaining professional standards within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
