Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has suspended the accounts of Nigerian veteran musician Idris Abdulkareem following the release of his controversial new track titled “Open Letter to Donald Trump.”
According to reports, the suspension came shortly after the song began gaining traction online. The track, which addresses former U.S. President Donald Trump and touches on Nigeria’s political and security landscape, sparked intense debate on social media — with supporters praising Idris for “speaking truth to power,” while critics accused him of pushing narratives deemed sensitive by global platforms.
Meta has not issued an official public statement on the suspension, but insiders suggest the decision may be linked to “policy violations related to political content or misinformation,” pending further review.
Idris Abdulkareem, known for his bold activism and music that challenges authority, has not yet released an official response, but sources say his team is already making moves to appeal Meta’s action.
The suspension has triggered reactions across Nigeria, with many describing the move as an attack on freedom of expression, while others argue that global platforms must enforce content policies uniformly — even when big names are involved.
For now, all posts, videos, and engagements on Idris Abdulkareem’s Instagram and Facebook pages remain inaccessible.
