Veteran Nigerian rapper and social critic, Eedris Abdulkareem, has lost access to his official Instagram and Facebook accounts following the release of his latest single, “Open Letter to Donald Trump”.
The musician announced the development on Sunday, stating that both pages were suspended shortly after the track dropped in November 2025 under his Lakreem Entertainment label.
Attempts to access the accounts returned error messages, confirming they are no longer reachable to the public.
Although Abdulkareem did not disclose receiving any prior warning from Meta, the timing of the suspension has raised eyebrows among fans who see a link between the action and the song’s hard-hitting lyrics.
The track, ostensibly addressed to United States President Donald Trump, is largely a scathing critique of corruption, insecurity, and leadership failure in Nigeria. Abdulkareem uses the song to highlight the lavish lifestyles of the political elite while ordinary citizens grapple with rising kidnappings, killings, and economic hardship.
By directing the message at Trump, the rapper appears to be calling for international attention to Nigeria’s deepening governance crisis.
This is not the first time Abdulkareem’s music has run into trouble with authorities. In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) directed radio and television stations to stop playing his song “Tell Your Papa” for allegedly violating broadcast codes.
More than two decades earlier, his groundbreaking 2004 hit “Jaga Jaga” was banned by the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo for its blunt criticism of corruption and poor governance.
Known for fearless social commentary through music, Abdulkareem has built a career challenging power and speaking for the masses, often at personal cost.
As of press time, Meta had not issued any official statement on the suspension, and it remains unclear whether the action is temporary or permanent.
