The Deejays Association of Nigeria (DJAN) has rejected claims that it banned Burna Boy’s music from radio and event playlists after a fight between him and DJ Tunez.
DJAN called the reports misleading and false, pointing out that its logo was used without permission to support the claims.
In a statement released Thursday, DJAN National President, Prince Akim Edeh, described the reports as “false and misleading”, advising media platforms to stop spreading the falsehood.

The group said it is following the ongoing investigation into the incident closely.
DJAN also revealed that DJ Tunez is not a registered member of the association.
The confrontation happened at Obi’s House, a popular Afrobeats event in Lagos, where DJ Tunez was reportedly attacked for playing Wizkid’s songs instead of Burna Boy’s.

The statement read in part: “We noted with grave concern reports surrounding a recent incident involving a Disc Jockey and Burna Boy. As a body dedicated to the growth and integrity of the entertainment industry, we maintain a firm and unwavering stance against any form of violence or physical confrontation. We are currently monitoring ongoing investigations.
“DJAN remains committed to fostering a healthy and collaborative environment between all practitioners and performing artists within the music space.
“We urge the public to remain calm and allow the relevant authorities to investigate the matter.
“We didn’t and have no intention to place ban on Burna Boy’s music or any other artist.”
