Teni reacts to Burna Boy, DJ Tunez’s fight
Teni Apata has responded with humour to Wizkid and Burna Boy’s ongoing rift, following a physical altercation between the former’s DJ and the latter.
The fight between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez happened on Monday at Obi’s House, a popular weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos.
What started as a heated argument between the two quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with members of Burna Boy’s team allegedly joining in before bystanders stepped in to restore order.
The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, but online speculation suggests it may be linked to long-standing industry rivalries — especially DJ Tunez’s close association with Wizkid, who fans often compare to Burna Boy.
In a lighthearted video shared on Instagram, Teni revealed that she received numerous calls from concerned loved ones urging her to hire bodyguards.
The songstress, however, joked about the high cost of maintaining bouncers, especially their large appetites.
The Afrobeats star specifically referenced Kizz Daniel’s bouncers, noting that “each one eats as much as a cow in a single week”.
Teni added that the tension isn’t limited to Afrobeats, noting that even Nollywood is dealing with its own conflicts.
“I woke up to 57 missed calls from my loved ones advising me to hire Kizz Daniel’s bouncer. Wetin happen? I just dey see gbas gbos everywhere, na him my loved ones dey tell me say me wey be afrobeats musician make I go collect bouncer o,” she said in pidgin English.
“Say if I know wetin good for myself make I go collect that type of Kizz Daniel bouncer. Abeg o. All those kind of Kizz Daniel bouncer, them dey chop like one cow for one week. If I come get like 7 of the bouncers, na 7 cow I go dey buy per week.
“Bouncer go come dey chop my money pass me because say Afrobeats don scatter. I wan go Nollywood but they dey f!ght for there too. Where I wan come go? Shay na football I wan start dey play? Everywhere don scatter, everywhere don burst like this.”
Wizkid had reacted to the incident on Wednesday with a swipe at Burna Boy, referring to his colleague as a “coward” for allegedly attacking Tunez with the help of ten other men.
However, Burna Boy denied the claim, insisting he acted alone.
