'You're Taking It Too Far' - DJ Tunez Speaks On Wizkidβs Attack On Nigerian Rappers
The Afrobeats star's official disc jockey, DJ Tunez, has a contradictory opinion as regards the reactions that followed Wizkid's comment on hip-hop.
Nigerian ace disc jockey, Michael Babatunde Adeyinka, popularly known as DJ Tunez, has aired his thoughts on Wizkid's recent comment about rap music.
Recall that Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, in a recent interview with a British magazine, made it known that he doesn't listen to rap anymore because he believes the genre is boring and dead, a statement that got a lot of reactions, including from Nigerian rappers like M.I., Blaqbonez, Ladipoe, Oladips, and others. Following the reactions, Wizkid went on to broke-shame Nigerian rappers, calling them "dumb f**ks" as well.
DJ Tunez, the American-based DJ who has served as Wizkid's official DJ for the past five years and is known as a core member of the Starboy Entertainment family as well as the Grammy-nominated singer's right-hand man, has a different take on the situation.
Taking to his social media on Monday, December 5, 2022, DJ Tunez opined that the rap conversation was being taken too far and that Wizkid wasn't talking about Nigerian rappers when he made the initial interview. Tunez went to urge the public that the primary focus should be on pushing African music.
