Popular Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, has confirmed the suspension of his Facebook and Instagram pages. He announced on Sunday that he could not access either account since his new song’s release. Investigations also show these pages are currently inaccessible.
Details of the Social Media Suspension
Abdulkareem is known for his strong political and governance views. He did not specify the duration of the suspension. Neither did he confirm if Meta provided any prior notice. The reason for the suspension is widely believed to be his latest musical offering.
The Controversial Song: “Open Letter to Donald Trump”
The suspension follows the release of his song, “Open Letter to Donald Trump.” Launched in November 2025 by Lakreem Entertainment, the track criticizes corruption, insecurity, and poor leadership in Nigeria. Although addressed to the former US president, the song’s primary focus remains on Nigerian leaders.
Abdulkareem highlights the luxurious lives of those in power. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens endure significant hardship. He also points to the alarming rise in kidnappings, killings, and other crimes. These issues leave many Nigerians feeling unsafe and constantly worried.
By referencing Donald Trump, the rapper sought global attention for Nigeria’s pressing issues. He hopes the international community will examine the struggles faced by average Nigerians.
Eedris Abdulkareem’s History of Protest Music and Censorship
This song extends Abdulkareem’s history of using music to challenge authority. His earlier hit, “Jaga Jaga,” similarly targeted corruption and poor governance. The rapper has consistently used his platform to speak truth to power.
Abdulkareem has faced previous censorship. In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) banned his song “Tell Your Papa.” The NBC cited content that violated broadcasting regulations. Earlier, in 2004, his iconic “Jaga Jaga” was banned. This occurred during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure.
