Popular Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has had his Facebook and Instagram pages suspended by Meta, the company that manages both platforms.
The accounts were reportedly flagged and disabled less than a week after he dropped a new single titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump.”
In the track, Abdulkareem appeals directly to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, urging him to intervene in resolving Nigeria’s worsening insecurity and other national crises.
The song, released under Lakreem Entertainment on TikTok on November 29, 2025, doubles as a message to the US President and a stinging critique of Nigeria’s political leadership.

Abdulkareem refers to Nigerian politicians as “criminals of all shades and hues,” accusing them of enriching themselves while citizens face daily threats of kidnappings, terrorism, and killings.
With the line “dem dey fear Donald Trump,” the artiste frames the record as an attempt to draw international attention to Nigeria’s deepening instability.
Abdulkareem has a long history of using music to challenge those in authority. In April 2025, he released “Tell Your Papa,” where he criticised Seyi Tinubu and urged him to convey Nigerians’ hardship to his father, President Bola Tinubu.
The National Broadcasting Commission responded by banning the song for allegedly breaching the Broadcasting Code.
His confrontational style dates back decades. In 2004, then-President Olusegun Obasanjo banned his hit track “Jaga Jaga,” which later gained even more popularity as an underground anthem.
