Odogwu vs. StarBoy DJ: The Night Lagos Nightlife Stood Still
The Afrobeats world is currently reeling from a seismic Monday night at Obi’s House in Lagos. What began as a high-octane celebration of Nigerian nightlife devolved into a physical confrontation between Grammy-winner Burna Boy and Wizkid’s right-hand man, DJ Tunez.
On the night of Monday, April 6, 2026, the atmosphere at Obi Cubana’s weekly residency turned sour. Eyewitness reports and viral footage show a chaotic scene in the VIP section.

While tensions between the Wizkid and Burna Boy camps have simmered for years, insiders suggest this specific blow-up may have been triggered by Tunez’s recent social media trolling—specifically his jokes about Burna Boy’s “coffee distribution” to fans.
Both parties have taken to their platforms since the incident, fueling the fire rather than dousing it. DJ Tunez Breaks the Silence Hours after the clash, DJ Tunez went on an X (formerly Twitter) spree, mocking the “African Giant” and addressing the incident head-on. He posted a video showing his defiant mood, paired with cryptic captions:”OGBAFIA NUMBER 1 DON WAKE OOO!””ALL SIGNS OF WEAKNESS!” — A direct jab at Burna Boy’s branding..
THIS NIGGA BURNA BOY!

Burna Boy, true to his “Odogwu” persona, has been more indirect. While he hasn’t issued a formal apology, a video shared on his Instagram stories showed him in high spirits, seemingly unbothered by the chaos. His supporters have been quick to share clips of him performing, attempting to shift the narrative back to his music.
