Old videos capturing the moments when Nigerian music stars Wizkid and Burna Boy separately met convicted US rapper and music mogul Diddy have resurfaced and trended on social media. This development comes amid an ongoing feud between Wizkid and Burna Boy, sparked by a physical altercation involving Burna Boy and DJ Tunez, a close associate of Wizkid.
Background of the Feud and Diddy's Involvement
The drama began when Wizkid returned to social media on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, to react to a fight between Burna Boy and DJ Tunez. The altercation occurred on Monday, April 6, 2026, at Obi’s House, a popular weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos. While the exact cause remains unclear, speculation suggests it may be linked to long-standing industry rivalries.

Social Media Reactions to the Videos
