According to eyewitness accounts shared online, the disagreement escalated into a physical altercation, with DJ Tunez reportedly being attacked during the incident.
In solidarity with Tunez, the NDJ issued a press statement on its Instagram account, emphasising its commitment to protecting DJs and promoting equality within the profession. The association stated:
“No one is born hating another because of the skin colour, religion, background or gender. People simply learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can also be taught to love since love comes naturally to the human heart more than its opposite.”
The statement further reinforced NDJ’s guiding principle: “All DJs are equal.” It urged members nationwide and in the diaspora to uphold values of tolerance, fairness, and respect, regardless of gender, religion, or background.
Highlighting its stance against discrimination, the association stressed that universal human rights must begin within the DJ community itself.
The association confirmed that Burna Boy’s music will remain off playlists until a thorough investigation into the nightclub incident is completed. DJs were also reminded to remain vigilant and respectful toward all artists during events.
The NDJ concluded its message with a call for unity: “Respect the DJs. DJs to DJs is highly effective. Remember @WeAreTheNigerianDJ.”

lextwinss said:
"Lowkey I’m not in support of their fight or issue, but this sort of sits well, when a particular person in your group of field of work is attacked or belittled for whatever reason it is essential y’all in the community or group do something about it, Dj’s are humans too and Dj work isn’t as easy as many people see it. Keep favorite artiste aside if something is wrong? Then it is wrong. The way the issue was handled especially having to kick someone as Djtunez on the floor like that isn’t nice atall, naija! Na we they do ourself sha. Cause how outsiders go take respect us?"
