Veteran Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has released a new video addressing the recent ban of his latest song and music video. In the emotional clip, the outspoken artist revealed that he received a strange call from someone who initially introduced himself as a senator. The caller later identified as an “honourable.”
According to Eedris, the caller informed him that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, were allegedly in a closed-door meeting. They were plotting to suppress him and silence his activism as well.

The caller, as claimed by Eedris, said that while the plan was to “bring him down,” there were others who were unhappy with the situation. These people were willing to support him in secret. The activist added that he was offered a ₦200 million starter fund to back off his criticism and soften his message. However, he refused.
Eedris said no one funded the music video in question, and he would not compromise his integrity for money.
Eedris Abdulkareem is no stranger to controversy or activism. He rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of the hip-hop group The Remedies. He later became known for his bold solo efforts. His hit song “Jaga Jaga” criticized corruption and social decay in Nigeria. The song was banned at the time but became a cult classic and anthem for protest.
Over the years, Eedris has continued to use his music and platform to speak truth to power. He never shies away from national issues. His resilience and consistent outspokenness have earned him both fans and critics. However, one thing remains clear—he’s committed to the cause.
This latest development adds yet another chapter to Eedris Abdulkareem’s legacy. Not just a musician, he is also a fearless voice for the people. As the music video ban stirs conversations online, many fans and social commentators are watching to see what comes next from the veteran rapper who refuses to be silenced.
