DJAN Dismisses Burna Boy’s Music Ban Rumours As False

THE Deejays Association of Nigeria (DJAN) has dismissed as false, reports that it banned Burna Boy’s music from playlists, following a recent physical altercation between him and DJ Tunez, who it disclosed is not a registered member of DJAN, at Obi’s House, a popular weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos.
DJAN National President, Prince Akim Edeh, in a statement on Thursday, April 9, described the reports as “false and misleading” and advising media platforms to stop spreading the falsehood.
While condemning the unauthorised use of its logo to support the misleading claims, the association distanced itself from the reports, saying it was monitoring ongoing investigations into the incident and remained committed to fostering a healthy music environment.
The statement read: “We noted with grave concern reports surrounding a recent incident involving a Disc Jockey and Burna Boy.

“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.”
