Witnesses said the disagreement escalated quickly, leaving DJ Tunez beaten, knocked to the ground, and stomped by about ten men wearing Timberland boots.
In response, the Association of DJs in Nigeria announced a temporary ban on playing Burna Boy’s songs until investigations are concluded.
Reacting to the incident, Wizkid described the attack as a cowardly group assault where one man and about ten others ganged up against his DJ.
Star Boy criticised Burna Boy for celebrating afterwards, pointing to a video where Burna Boy mocked DJ Tunez by dancing, falling to the ground, and chanting "Ogbafia dey for ground", which has gone viral on social media.
Wizkid went further by reviving his long-running rivalry with Burna Boy, branding him the ultimate “Diddy babe” he had ever encountered.
Wizzy said he had never seen anyone act as foolishly as the African Giant, keeping alive his history of mocking Burna Boy with words suggesting his sexual involvement with American rapper Sean Diddy Combs.
Taking to his X account, Wizkid wrote:
"Pu$$y niqga Jump a dj with 10man carry diddy towel Dey dance. I never see fool like this diddy babe for my life."
His response shows the protective bond he shares with his team while keeping the long-running rivalry firmly in the spotlight.
Within 20 minutes, Wizkid's comment sparked massive reactions, with over 1 million views and over 18,000 comments.
He also shared a bottle of baby oil, referring to the same Sean Diddy, as a jab thrown at Burna Boy.
