Nigerian music icon Eedris Abdulkareem has confirmed a significant development. His Facebook and Instagram pages are now suspended. The veteran rapper made the announcement on Sunday.
Abdulkareem stated he has been unable to access both accounts. This issue began since the release of his latest song. Checks also confirm that the pages are currently inaccessible to the public.
The rapper is well-known for his strong opinions. He often criticizes politics and governance. However, he did not disclose the suspension’s duration. He also did not specify if Meta provided any prior notification.
The Controversial Song
The song at the center of this issue is “Open Letter to Donald Trump.” Lakreem Entertainment released it in November 2025. The track targets widespread corruption in Nigeria. It also highlights insecurity and poor leadership.
Though presented as a message to the US president, the song’s core focus remains on Nigeria’s leaders. Abdulkareem directly calls out those in power. He contrasts their comfortable lives with citizens’ hardships.
He further pointed to the alarming rise in crime. Kidnappings, killings, and other offenses are prevalent. This situation leaves many Nigerians feeling unsafe and constantly worried.
By mentioning Donald Trump, the rapper aimed for global attention. He hoped to shed light on Nigeria’s critical problems. His objective was to encourage the world to examine challenges faced by ordinary citizens.
A History of Social Commentary
This latest song aligns with Abdulkareem’s long-standing practice. He consistently uses music to question authority figures. His past hit, “Jaga Jaga,” also followed this pattern. That track powerfully attacked corruption and poor governance.
His music has faced official resistance before. In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) acted against his song “Tell Your Papa.” They ordered radio and TV stations not to air it. The NBC cited content violating broadcast rules.
Even earlier, in 2004, “Jaga Jaga” was banned. This occurred during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. Eedris Abdulkareem continues to use his platform. He consistently speaks out on national issues, despite potential repercussions.
