Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has announced the suspension of his Facebook and Instagram accounts, which he says followed the release of his new song, “Open Letter to Donald Trump.”
Speaking to SaharaReporters, Abdulkareem said he has been blocked from accessing both accounts since the song’s debut.
“Facebook just suspended my Facebook and Instagram account because of my new song, Open Letter to Donald Trump,” he stated. Checks confirmed that both accounts are currently inaccessible. Meta has provided no details regarding the duration of the suspension.
The song, released in November 2025 under Abdulkareem’s label Lakreem Entertainment, is a protest track targeting corruption, insecurity, and misgovernance in Nigeria.
While framed as a “letter” to former U.S. President Donald Trump, the real focus is on Nigeria’s political elite. In it, Abdulkareem accuses leaders of enriching themselves while ordinary citizens suffer, describing them as “criminals of all shades and hues.” The song also highlights worsening insecurity, including kidnappings, killings, and terrorism, and seeks global attention on the plight of Nigerians.
“Open Letter to Donald Trump” continues Abdulkareem’s tradition of politically charged music, following earlier hits like “Jaga Jaga,” which criticised corruption and governance failures in Nigeria. His previous protest song, “Tell Your Papa,” was banned in April 2025 by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for allegedly containing “objectionable lyrics.”
Abdulkareem has consistently used his music to challenge political leaders and expose social injustice. Despite facing repeated censorship, he remains one of Nigeria’s most outspoken protest musicians, amplifying the frustrations of citizens and demanding accountability from the nation’s leadership.
