Eedris Abdulkareem Loses Facebook and Instagram Accounts After Releasing “Open Letter to Donald Trump”

Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has had his Facebook and Instagram accounts suspended, days after releasing his latest track, “Open Letter to Donald Trump.” Checks on Sunday night revealed that both pages were no longer accessible, though Meta has not provided an official reason for the suspension.

Released in November 2025 under his Lakreem Entertainment label, the song is framed as a direct appeal to President Donald Trump but primarily focuses on Nigeria’s internal challenges. Abdulkareem criticises corruption, insecurity, and governance failures, using the “letter” format to draw international attention to the struggles faced by ordinary Nigerians.

In the track, he highlights the enrichment of political leaders while citizens endure widespread hardship, pointing to rising cases of kidnappings, killings, and terrorism as evidence of the country’s deteriorating security situation.

“Open Letter to Donald Trump” continues Abdulkareem’s long-standing tradition of socially conscious and confrontational music. His 2004 hit “Jaga Jaga,” which condemned corruption and misrule, was banned from broadcast during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. More recently, in April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission prohibited the airplay of his song “Tell Your Papa,” citing alleged violations of broadcasting standards in a directive signed by NBC’s Susan Obi.

Despite repeated controversies and censorship, Abdulkareem remains one of Nigeria’s most outspoken musical voices, using his platform to challenge political authorities and spotlight issues of injustice and inequality.
