Grammy-winning Afrofusion star Burna Boy has publicly challenged fellow music heavyweight Wizkid to a physical confrontation, intensifying their ongoing feud.
The clash comes in the wake of allegations that Burna Boy and members of his team assaulted DJ Tunez at a Lagos nightclub after he reportedly refused to play Burna Boy’s songs.
Earlier, Wizkid had taken to social media to condemn the incident, calling out Burna Boy and his associates over the alleged attack.
Reacting in a viral video, Burna Boy admitted involvement but insisted he acted alone. He dismissed Wizkid’s online reactions and challenged him to handle the matter physically rather than through social media.
Speaking in Pidgin, Burna Boy downplayed the influence of online platforms, emphasizing what he described as “real-life power” over digital presence.
The situation has sparked widespread reactions across Nigeria’s entertainment industry, with fans divided. While some have backed Burna Boy’s stance, others have criticized the growing trend of public feuds and violence among top artists.
The controversy has also reportedly begun to affect Burna Boy’s industry relationships, with some DJs allegedly reducing airplay of his music following the incident.
What started as a nightclub dispute has now evolved into one of the most talked-about rivalries in Nigeria’s music scene, with many watching closely to see whether tensions will escalate further or be resolved privately.
