By EIIAFRICA | Entertainment News The Afrobeats internet space is officially on fire! If you thought the beefs in the Nigerian music industry were cooling down in 2026, Wizkid just poured a massive drum of gasoline on the flames.
Big Wiz has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to mercilessly drag a fellow artist—heavily implied to be Burna Boy—following an alleged altercation involving Wizkid’s official disc jockey, DJ Tunez.
The Tweet That Broke the Internet
On the afternoon of April 8, Wizkid held nothing back in a highly explosive tweet that immediately racked up millions of views. Mocking the situation, he tweeted:
"Pussy nigga Jump a dj with 10man carry diddy towel Dey dance. 😂 I never see fool like this diddy babe for my life 🤣🤣"
Breaking Down the Shade:
• "Jump a dj with 10man": This is a direct reference to the brewing rumors of a clash at Obi's House in Lagos on Monday night, where Burna Boy and his entourage allegedly confronted DJ Tunez.
• Diddy babe" & "Diddy towel": Wizkid hit below the belt here. He is weaponizing the ongoing internet jokes and rumors surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs, slapping the "Diddy babe" label on the African Giant to mock his past associations and trigger a reaction.
The Backstory: What Really Happened?
According to word on the streets and takes from industry insiders like Comedian DeeOne, the bad blood has been boiling for a while. Rumors suggest that Burna Boy has become increasingly sensitive to any associations or jokes regarding the embattled American mogul, Sean Diddy Combs.
It is alleged that an older subliminal post made by Wizkid struck a nerve, which eventually culminated in the messy face-off with DJ Tunez at the Lagos club. Wizkid, known for his laid-back persona, clearly didn't take the alleged harassment of his DJ lightly—and chose absolute violence on the timeline.
As seen in the comments under Wizkid's post:
@DAMI FOREIGN couldn't hold back, stating: "This guy too get bad mouth.😂😂😂"@Twilight chimed in, reminding everyone of Wizkid's notorious clap-backs: "you haven’t changed From this attitude since school days Ayodeji"
What Happens Next?
Burna Boy is not known to back down from a war of words, but so far, he has yet to officially respond to the "Diddy babe" jab. Will the African Giant take the bait and hit back, or will he let the music do the talking?One thing is for sure: the Lagos nightlife scene and the Afrobeats timeline are going to be very, very interesting this week.
