Meta Suspends Nigerian Rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem’s Instagram, Facebook Pages Over ‘Open Letter To Trump’

Eedris Abdulkareem, the veteran Nigerian rapper, has revealed that his Facebook and Instagram accounts have been deactivated.

The activist said it happened shortly after he released his new track, Open Letter to Donald Trump.

He said on Sunday that he has been unable to log into both accounts since the song came out.

Checks also showed that the pages could no longer be opened.

The rapper, known for his strong views on politics and governance, did not state how long the suspension might last or whether Meta gave him any notice.

Open Letter to Donald Trump, released in November 2025 under Lakreem Entertainment, takes aim at corruption, insecurity and poor leadership in Nigeria.

Though framed as a message to the U.S. president, the song focuses on Nigeria’s leaders.

Abdulkareem called out those in power for living well while citizens face hardship.

He also pointed to the rise in kidnappings, killings and other crimes that leave many people unsafe and worried.

By mentioning Trump, the rapper tried to draw global attention to Nigeria’s problems, hoping the world will look closer at what ordinary citizens are facing.

The song continues his long track record of using music to question those in authority, much like his earlier hit Jaga Jaga, which attacked corruption and poor governance.

In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission ordered radio and TV stations not to air his song Tell Your Papa, saying it contained content that went against broadcast rules.

Before that, in 2004, Jaga Jaga was banned during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.

Burna Boy Slams Eedris Abdulkareem: “I Acknowledge Those Who Contributed To Your Medical Bills.”

The Nigerian musician Burna Boy has taken issue with remarks made by his colleague Eedris Abdulkareem in an unpublished podcast episode.

On X on Saturday, a teaser video for the next episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast featuring Abdulkareem criticizing Burna Boy for claiming that no Nigerian musician has ever assisted him went viral.

You hear people like Burna Boy claim that no one in Nigeria assisted him. In the now-viral video, Abdulkareem remarked, “That’s just stupid talk.”

In response, Burna Boy said in a since-deleted post made on his verified X Twitter that he did not hold Abdulkareem accountable for his remarks but rather the donors who paid for his hospital stays after receiving a kidney transplant in 2022.

The crooner of “African Giant,” who is presently performing in the Bahamas, expressed his wish that Abdulkareem might be in that location so that they could personally settle their differences.

“Abdul Kareem abi wettin dem dey call your papa, I no blame you,” he wrote in Pidgin. I hold financial donors accountable for your medical expenses. And I hope that you are the kind of person who can fit into the nice spots that I have, so let’s use mistake jam.
