Afrobeats singer Burna Boy has finally set the record straight on the heated incident with DJ Tunez, also known as Ogbafia, at Obi’s house nightclub party in Lagos on Monday night.
The Grammy-winning music star clarified that the clash was not a group assault as widely rumoured, but a direct one-on-one encounter where he alone slapped the DJ twice.
The statement came three days after the altercation sparked heavy online debate, with claims that 10 men had attacked DJ Tunez, Wizkid’s official DJ.
In a livestream video widely circulating across social media, Burna Boy was seen with Shallipopi and some of his crew, directly addressing the exaggerated reports.
Explaining what happened in the club that night to Shallipopi, the African Giant insisted that he acted alone and emphasised his point by swearing on his mother’s life.
Odogwu explained that DJ Tunez was with his associates, but they all fled immediately upon seeing him, leaving only DJ Tunez.
According to him, he instructed that nobody should touch him, claiming that he delivered just two slaps to DJ Tunez and no fist was exchanged between them, framing the event as a straightforward one-on-one exchange rather than the exaggerated version that spread online.
To show the seriousness of his explanation, he invoked Ogun, the Yoruba deity, stating that if he was lying, the deity should take his mother to the same place as Wizkid’s mother.
“I swear on my mama. If I dey lie make Ogun carry my mama go anywhere wey Wizkid mama dey. Na only me. I gave him just 2 slaps. I told everyone that nobody should touch him. No be the 10 man wey dem dey talk. o be 10 people touch that guy oo. Na only me. DJ Tunez was with like many of his guys, but they all ran immediately they saw me. Na only 2 slaps I give him, finish. I made sure nobody touched him. If it were 10 people that beat him as he claimed, will he be the same? I didn't throw one single blow at him.”
Explaining further, Burna Boy expressed disappointment that DJ Tunez and Wizkid responded with tweets instead of confronting him physically, as he had been expecting a squad to be sent to fight him.
He noted that he remained at the club for hours waiting for retaliation, but no one showed up. Burna Boy concluded by stating that DJ Tunez and Wizkid's strength seemed limited to the internet, while he believes in physical confrontation.
“He come go dey tweet. I think say he go send squad. I was still at the club for like 3 to 5 hours. Na internet their own power dey, but na real life my own power dey. I thought he would call his boss, Wizkid, and he will send his squad, but his boss was tweeting instead. What was the point of tweeting instead of coming at me in real life? That means I wasted my time"
