Teni Apata has reacted humorously to the ongoing tension between Wizkid and Burna Boy following the recent altercation involving DJ Tunez and Burna Boy.
The clash took place on Monday at Obi’s House, a well-known weekly Afrobeats gathering in Lagos, where a heated exchange between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez reportedly turned physical before bystanders intervened.
Although the exact reason behind the dispute remains unclear, many online believe it may be tied to long-running rivalries in the music industry, particularly DJ Tunez’s close association with Wizkid.
In a playful video posted on Instagram, Teni said several loved ones had called her, urging her to employ bodyguards for protection amid the growing tensions in Afrobeats.
She jokingly complained about the cost of hiring such security, especially referring to Kizz Daniel’s bouncers, whom she said consume enormous amounts of food.
“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.”
Teni added that the unrest appears to have spread beyond music, joking that Nollywood is also facing its own internal conflicts.
Wizkid had earlier reacted to the incident by calling Burna Boy a “coward”, accusing him of attacking DJ Tunez with the help of ten others.
Burna Boy, however, denied the allegation, insisting that he acted alone.
