Grammy-winning Afrofusion star Burna Boy has openly challenged fellow music heavyweight Wizkid to a physical confrontation, escalating their ongoing feud.
The heated exchange follows allegations that Burna Boy and his associates assaulted DJ Tunez at a Lagos nightclub on Monday night for allegedly refusing to play his songs.
Wizkid had earlier taken to social media to condemn the incident, calling out Burna Boy and his crew over the reported attack.
In response, Burna Boy admitted involvement but claimed he acted alone.
“Leave Online, Face Me”
In a viral video circulating online, Burna Boy dismissed Wizkid’s influence on social media and challenged him to settle their differences physically.
“Wizkid dey tweet… na internet be their power. We, na real life our own power dey,” he said in Pidgin.
“I think say DJ Tunez go call him oga… but na tweet Wizkid con dey tweet.”
The feud has sparked intense reactions across Nigeria’s entertainment scene, with fans divided over the confrontation. While some support Burna Boy’s stance, others have criticized the growing trend of violence and public disputes among top artists.
The controversy also comes amid reports that some Nigerian DJs are beginning to sideline Burna Boy’s music following the incident, raising concerns about its potential impact on his airplay and industry relationships.
As tensions continue to rise between the two global stars, many observers are watching closely to see whether the situation will escalate further or be resolved behind the scenes.
For now, what began as a nightclub dispute has evolved into one of the most talked-about rivalries in Nigeria’s music industry.
