Meta has suspended the official Facebook and Instagram accounts of veteran Nigerian rapper and social critic, Eedris Abdulkareem, following the release of his latest single titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump” in November 2025.
The musician announced the development on Sunday, November 30, 2025, stating that both of his verified social-media pages were taken down shortly after the release of the song under his Lakreem Entertainment label.
Checks on Monday, December 1, 2025, showed that the accounts were no longer accessible to the public, with error messages appearing when attempts were made to open the pages.
Abdulkareem said he did not receive any prior warning or formal notice from Meta before the suspension, a development that has triggered reactions from fans and civil rights advocates who suspect a link between the action and the politically charged content of the song.
“Open Letter to Donald Trump” is a protest track that criticises corruption, insecurity and leadership failures in Nigeria. Although addressed to United States President Donald Trump, the song highlights Nigeria’s governance and socio-economic challenges, calling international attention to the plight of ordinary citizens amid rising kidnappings, killings and economic hardship.
The development adds to a long history of official pushback against Abdulkareem’s socially conscious music. In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) directed radio and television stations nationwide to stop airing his song “Tell Your Papa” for allegedly violating broadcast codes.
Earlier in 2004, his popular protest song “Jaga Jaga” was banned during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo for its blunt criticism of corruption and poor governance.
As of press time, Meta had not issued any official statement explaining the reason for the suspension, and it remains unclear whether the action is temporary or permanent.
