Popular Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, has revealed that his Facebook and Instagram accounts have been suspended.

Abdulkareem announced the development on Sunday. He stated that he has been unable to access both platforms since his new song was released. Checks also confirmed that his pages are currently unavailable.

The rapper is well-known for his strong opinions on politics and governance. However, he did not specify the duration of the suspension. Neither did Meta provide any prior notice regarding the action.

The ‘Open Letter to Donald Trump’ Controversy

The suspension comes after the release of his song, ‘Open Letter to Donald Trump.’ The track was launched in November 2025 under Lakreem Entertainment. It directly addresses issues like corruption, widespread insecurity, and poor leadership in Nigeria.

Although the song is framed as a message to the former U.S. president, its primary focus remains on Nigeria’s leaders. Abdulkareem used the lyrics to call out those in power. He highlighted their comfortable lives while ordinary citizens endure significant hardships.

He also drew attention to the alarming rise in kidnappings, killings, and other criminal activities. These issues leave many Nigerians feeling unsafe and constantly worried. By mentioning Trump, the rapper aimed to draw global attention to Nigeria’s pressing problems. He hopes the international community will take a closer look at the challenges faced by its citizens.

Eedris Abdulkareem’s History of Activism Through Music

This latest song continues Abdulkareem’s long tradition of using music to question authority. His earlier hit, ‘Jaga Jaga,’ similarly criticized corruption and poor governance. That song was released in 2004.

His music has often faced official backlash. In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) issued an order. It directed radio and TV stations not to broadcast his song ‘Tell Your Papa.’ The NBC claimed the song contained content that violated broadcast regulations.

Before that, the Obasanjo administration banned ‘Jaga Jaga’ in 2004. These incidents underscore the rapper’s consistent commitment to using his platform for social commentary, often leading to controversy and official censorship.
