Popular Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has had his Facebook and Instagram accounts suspended by Meta, barely a week after releasing a new political single titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump.”

Sources said the platforms flagged and removed the musician’s accounts, locking him out without prior notice. The takedown came days after the track—released on November 29 under Lakreem Entertainment—went live on TikTok.

In the controversial song, Abdulkareem urges U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene in Nigeria’s worsening security crises, accusing the nation’s political class of enriching themselves while citizens suffer. He labels Nigerian leaders as “criminals of all shades and hues,” spotlighting kidnappings, terrorism, and widespread killings.

Chanting “dem dey fear Donald Trump,” the veteran rapper positions the song as an appeal for global attention to Nigeria’s deepening instability.

This is not Abdulkareem’s first clash with authorities.
In April 2025, he released “Tell Your Papa,” a bold message to Seyi Tinubu, urging him to convey Nigerians’ hardship to his father, President Bola Tinubu. The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) swiftly banned the song, alleging violations of the Broadcasting Code.

The artist’s history of politically charged music dates back to 2004 when former President Olusegun Obasanjo banned his iconic protest track “Jaga Jaga,” which later grew into an underground anthem of resistance.
