Michael Adeyinka, the Nigerian disc jockey fondly called DJ Tunez, says Wizkid, the Afrobeats star, paid him N10 million to play ‘Fuji Vibe’, a recently released song by Asake, at a London concert.
DJ Tunez was among the headliners at the London Afrocarnival concert held at the Koko Camden Arena in the United Kingdom.
The Nigerian-American DJ entertained the cheering concertgoers with hit songs like Ayra Starr’s ‘Sability’, Shallipopi’s ‘Cast’, and ‘Trabaye’ by Burna Boy’.
While thrilling concertgoers, DJ Tunez paused and announced the generous payment from the ‘Made In Lagos’ hitmaker to the cheering crowd.
He also gave a shout-out to Wizkid while describing ‘Fuji Vibe’ as a “deep African song”.
“Wizkid just sent me N10 million to play this song,” he said.
“Welcome to the Afro carnival edition. We are taking you inside Africa. That is the Koko. DJ Tunez is in the building. Star Boy this is you.”
‘Fuji Vibe’ is one of the songs from Asake’s third studio album titled ‘Lungu Boy’.
In the song, Asake delivered a mixture of Afrobeats and Fuji sound.
DJ Tunez has served as Wizkid’s official DJ for more than half a decade.
He gained popularity after ‘Iskaba’, his first production with Wande Coal.

Cynthia Morgan reveals why she’ll never reach out to Burna Boy
Cynthia Morgan has revealed why she will never reach out to Burna Boy amid the controversy surrounding his rumoured past relationship with Uju Stella.
In a recent post on her Instagram story, Morgan claimed people advised her to contact Burna Boy regarding Stella’s interview.
In the interview, Stella alleged that she and Burna Boy dated for three years and she got pregnant for him.
In the post, Morgan said she can’t reach out to Burna Boy because he is still upset that she didn’t believe him when Stella made the accusations in 2016.
The songstress also took a shot at men, arguing that they tend to lie and get angry when others don’t believe them.
“For those sending me messages to reach out to Burna Boy, I won’t. If it was me I would reach out but he is probably still mad that I didn’t believe he didn’t impregnate Uju Stella in 2016,” she wrote.
“That’s what most men do. They lie and get mad when you don’t believe them. Something he finally admitted to online 8 years later. You all leave me alone. All the best Damini.”
Morgan and Burna Boy have collaborated on music, with their 2016 song ‘Acting Bad’ a notable example.
There were also rumours of a romantic relationship between the two singers in 2015, although the pair did not confirm it.
