Veteran rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has announced that his Facebook and Instagram accounts have been restored days after they were suspended by Meta. The outspoken musician shared the news on his reinstated Instagram page on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to supporters while calling out those he believes orchestrated the temporary shutdown.
In his words:
“FINALLY, I AM BACK ON FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.
They came, they barked and they clamped my accounts down.
The intimidation didn’t work and the abracadabra gameplay won’t work either.”
Abdulkareem went on to accuse government forces of attempting to silence him:
“The Nigerian Government and its dark agents of destabilization should realize the fact that we that speak the truth constantly are doing so because we love this country so much, and are genuinely concerned and worried about the unrestrained downward trajectory of our beloved nation.”
He also thanked those who stood by him while the suspension lasted:
“Thanks to my brother Chidi Nwayanwu, my dear brother Sowore, Tunde Ednut, Gossipmill, Original Myke Pam, A3, 9bject TV, and all my fans, friends and family members… Aluta Continua!”
Just a few days ago, Abdulkareem’s Facebook and Instagram pages were taken down after being flagged by Meta, a move that sparked outrage among fans and activists.
The suspension came less than a week after the rapper released a politically charged single titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump”, where he appealed to the US President to intervene in Nigeria’s worsening security and governance crises.
Released under Lakreem Entertainment on TikTok on November 29, 2025, the track criticises Nigeria’s political elite and accuses leaders of enriching themselves while citizens face kidnappings, terrorism, killings, and general insecurity.
In the song, Abdulkareem describes those in power as “criminals of all shades and hues”. He also sings “Dem dey fear Donald Trump”, positioning the song as a global call for help directed at the White House.
This is not the first time the veteran artiste has used music as a tool of resistance.
In April 2025, he released “Tell Your Papa,” a sharp criticism of Seyi Tinubu, urging him to convey the suffering of Nigerians to his father, President Bola Tinubu. The song was subsequently banned by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for allegedly violating the Broadcasting Code.
In 2004, the Obasanjo administration also banned Abdulkareem’s hit track “Jaga Jaga,” though it later became an underground protest anthem and one of the most iconic socio-political songs in Nigeria.
With his accounts now restored, the rapper appears set to continue his activism, unfiltered and unapologetic.
