Eedris Abdulkareem’s Social Media Accounts Taken Down After Release of New Political Track

Veteran Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem is once again at the center of public debate after his major social media accounts were reportedly taken down shortly after he released a new politically charged track. The timing of the removals has sparked widespread conversation online, with fans and commentators suggesting the takedown may be linked to the song’s outspoken criticism of Nigeria’s political establishment.

Eedris who has built a decades-long reputation as one of Nigeria’s most fearless socio-political voices dropped the new track earlier this week, directly calling out government leaders and addressing themes of corruption, economic hardship, and citizen frustration. Within hours, fans noticed that the rapper’s Instagram and X (Twitter) pages were either inaccessible or flagged, raising suspicions of targeted suppression.

Although no platform has publicly provided a detailed explanation for the takedown, the disappearance of multiple accounts across different services on the same day has intensified speculation. Supporters argue that the move undermines the freedom of expression that artists and activists rely on, while others believe the action may be tied to policy violations or mass reporting by opposing groups.

Eedris Abdulkareem is no stranger to political tension. From his iconic protest anthem “Jaga Jaga,” which once drew the ire of a sitting president, to years of vocal activism on social issues, he has consistently used music as a form of resistance. His latest track continues that legacy, blending sharp lyricism with heavy criticism aimed at those in power.

Online reactions remain divided. Many fans have rallied behind him, sharing clips of the song and calling for the restoration of his accounts. Others suggested he expected this kind of pushback, given the song’s confrontational nature and the sensitive political climate.

Despite the takedowns, the new track continues to circulate widely through reposts, blogs, and messaging apps. In typical Eedris fashion, the controversy has only amplified the message, ensuring the song reaches even those outside his immediate fan base.

As calls grow for clearer answers from social media platforms, one thing is certain: Eedris Abdulkareem has once again ignited a national conversation one that shows no signs of slowing down.
