Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem’s Facebook, Instagram Accounts Deactivated Hours After Releasing ‘Fela Irumole’

Nigerian singer and rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, has again found himself at the centre of controversy after his Facebook and Instagram accounts were deactivated just hours after the release of his latest single, Fela Irumole.

The deactivation reportedly occurred on Thursday, January 30, 2026, shortly after the music activist released the audio-visuals of the song online, reigniting concerns among fans and free speech advocates over what they describe as a pattern of clampdowns following his politically conscious releases.

HonouRebel Myke Pam made this known in a statement on Friday on behalf of Lakreem Entertainment Inc.

The statement reads in part; “It looks like the Nigerian Hip hop and Afrobeats Czar, Eedris Abdulkareem’s run-in with authorities; be it governments or regulators, are not abetting yet as the music activist refuses to be boxed into a conundrum of silence.

“A few hours after officially releasing the audio visuals of his latest single ‘Fela Irumole’ online, on January 30 2026, Eedris Abdulkareem’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were once again, deactivated.

“We are yet to ascertain if this particular clampdown is related to the new song ‘Fela Irumole,’ which praised Fela Kuti’s doggedness, musical ingenuity and overall Iconic status, amidst the ongoing ‘supremacy roforofo ruckus’ between two young and upwardly mobile Nigerian artistes.

“Today’s deactivation is coming just a few months after the last clampdown which many fans attributed to his last single, another song that was deemed controversial by the powers that be.”

“We sincerely hope that this is a temporary reprimand or glitch, because we don’t want to believe that Meta Inc. is against free speech or averse to the calls for probity, accountability and good governance in Nigeria. We await further developments!” the statement added.
