Nigerian hip-hop veteran and social critic, Eedris Abdulkareem, says his official Facebook and Instagram pages have suddenly gone offline—an incident he links to the release of his latest politically charged single, Open Letter to Donald Trump.
The rapper revealed on Sunday that he has been completely locked out of both platforms since the track debuted.
Attempts to access the pages reportedly now lead nowhere, fuelling speculation that the accounts may have been suspended or removed altogether. Abdulkareem added that he received no prior warning or explanation from Meta.
Released in November 2025 under Lakreem Entertainment, Open Letter to Donald Trump uses the U.S. president as a symbolic listener while dissecting Nigeria’s long-standing problems. Although the title suggests an international appeal, the message is squarely aimed at Nigeria’s political elite.
In the track, Abdulkareem condemns widespread corruption, worsening insecurity, and the widening gap between political leaders and everyday citizens. He highlights the surge in kidnappings, killings, and other violent crimes that have left many Nigerians living in fear.
The rapper’s strategy—invoking Trump’s name—is intended to draw global attention to Nigeria’s internal struggles, a move he hopes will intensify international scrutiny of the country’s leadership.
Open Letter to Donald Trump continues Abdulkareem’s decades-long tradition of using music as a tool of social resistance.
His 2004 classic, Jaga Jaga, which criticised government corruption, was famously banned under President Olusegun Obasanjo.

More recently, in April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) prohibited broadcasters from airing his song Tell Your Papa, claiming it breached professional standards.
With his social media pages now inaccessible, questions linger about whether the takedown is coincidental or connected to the controversial track. Abdulkareem has yet to receive clarity—and so has the public.
