‘Ogbafia dey for ground’ —Burna Boy Taunts DJ Tunez After Viral Clash
Nigerian music star Burna Boy has stirred fresh controversy after mocking DJ Tunez in the aftermath of their widely reported clash at a private event in Lagos.
The Grammy-winning artist reportedly made the remark “Ogbafia dey for ground,” a slang phrase interpreted by many as a taunt directed at DJ Tunez. The statement quickly gained traction online, adding a new dimension to the already heated situation between both figures.
The tension follows a viral video that captured an alleged confrontation between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez, which drew widespread attention across social media. While the exact cause of the altercation remains unclear, the incident has continued to generate intense debate within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Burna Boy’s latest comment has further fueled reactions, with fans and observers divided over the appropriateness of his response. Some view it as part of ongoing rivalry and banter, while others have criticized it as unnecessary given the circumstances surrounding the clash.
DJ Tunez had earlier addressed the situation indirectly through a brief social media message, but has not publicly responded to Burna Boy’s latest remark. The lack of direct communication from both parties has contributed to ongoing speculation about the nature of their disagreement.
The controversy has also drawn attention from industry stakeholders, including the Nigerian DJ Association, which recently distanced itself from calls to restrict Burna Boy’s music following the incident. The association emphasized the need for professionalism and unity within the music scene.
As the situation continues to unfold, many within the industry are calling for restraint and urging both parties to resolve their differences privately. Observers believe that prolonged public disputes could affect collaborations and the global image of Afrobeats.
