Wizkid’s official DJ, DJ Tunez, has replied media host Adesope Shopsydoo after a fresh round of online banter about Davido’s long-time DJ, Ecool. The back and forth played out in the comment section of a viral post as fans continued to dissect a club clip where Tunez seemed to poke fun at another DJ’s work tools.
The conversation adds a new line to the rolling gist around DJ Tunez and how his words land with fans. ValidUpdates recently reported how an older Tunez remark sparked the Lambo saga and drew warnings from Sophia Momodu about staying away from her name, underlining how quickly his offhand comments can trend. earlier DJ Tunez comment on Lambo saga
In the latest case, a stage video showed Tunez joking about DJs who still rely heavily on flash drives during sets. Viewers quickly linked the line to Davido’s DJ Ecool, who had just been dragged into a separate round of online debate with his boss over cryptic posts. That earlier talk about Davido and DJ Ecool tension talk already set fans on edge around any hint of new shade.
How the fresh exchange began
Adesope, known for his interviews with major Afrobeats stars, weighed in after the clip spread. He suggested that joking on stage about another working DJ, especially one linked to a rival camp, could cross a line. His tone stayed measured but firm, which some viewers read as a direct call-out.
Tunez soon dropped into his comment section with a playful but sharp message. “I know who side you on now,” he wrote, tagging Adesope by his handle and adding laughing emojis to show he still meant it in a light mood. The post made it clear he felt the broadcaster had picked a team.
Adesope responded with a shocked “Me?” under the same thread. The reply left room for humour but also showed he did not enjoy being painted as biased. For many watchers, that single-word answer captured the tension between staying neutral and picking sides in Afrobeats’ biggest rivalry.
Fans debate shade and loyalty lines
Tunez doubled down with another comment that name-dropped “Martel boys,” a nod that fans linked to his long-running brand relationships and wider crew. The phrase sounded playful yet hinted that he sees clear lines between people who are with him and people who are not. It framed Adesope as standing with a different set of friends.
Adesope came back again and wrote that he would “never” forgive the DJ, still keeping the mood half serious and half comic. Some fans read the exchange as two friends teasing each other in public. Others said the words reflected deeper annoyance about how industry figures comment on ongoing rival stories.
Under the post, fans quickly split into camps. Wizkid fans argued that Tunez only cracked a harmless joke about old tools and stage culture. Davido supporters insisted that mocking any DJ’s work setup, even without names, was unfair when tied to a recent wave of talk about Ecool. These replies turned the comment thread into a mini cross-camp debate.
The fact that both camps already watch each other closely only made the back and forth louder. In recent months, clips of stars like Wizkid, Davido and their friends have often turned into subtext wars, even when no names are spoken directly. Each new joke now gets measured for hidden shots.
Why Wizkid and Davido camps stay under watch
Industry watchers say the Tunez and Adesope chat shows how fragile public neutrality has become. A simple remark about stage gear can be read as taking sides the moment Wizkid or Davido are mentioned. That pressure puts extra weight on DJs, media hosts and friends who move between both camps.
DJ Ecool himself has been through a busy season of headlines. Outside the fresh shade talk, he recently made news for personal milestones and for past social posts that Davido amplified online. Each move adds more eyes to anything that sounds like a jab or a defence.
For Tunez, this is not the first time his jokes have sparked comment. Fans still recall times when his replies or live reactions lit up X and Instagram, especially when they touched on old label stories or personal rifts. Every clip now travels fast, which means even throwaway lines can lead to think-pieces and split polls.
Adesope, on the other hand, has built his brand on access to stars from both camps. Viewers expect him to keep a fair stance, so any remark that seems to favour one side draws extra scrutiny. His “never forgive” reply therefore reads as both a joke and a reminder that he does not enjoy being cast as biased.
For now, neither man has issued a longer statement, and the tone under the post still leans more playful than hostile. Yet the exchange shows how even friendly teasing can feed bigger storylines when it sits on top of long-running Wizkid and Davido debates. With tour seasons, award shows and new releases around the corner, fans will likely keep watching every move from DJs, hosts and stars on both sides.
