Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has rejected an apology from a man whose copyright claim got her YouTube movie, “My 30th Wedding”, demonetised. She says she is still angry and plans to take action against him.
Reacting on Instagram on Tuesday, Ademoye shared a screenshot of the apology from the man, identified as Mazi Enemuo, and responded to it line by line. Her post came a day after she offered a ₦1m reward to anyone who could identify and locate the person behind the claim.
The dispute began when a song made for the film, “We Can Take It (My 30th Wedding)”, was uploaded to streaming platforms under Enemuo’s name. This triggered a YouTube Content ID claim that marked the movie as ineligible to earn. Ademoye says the track was created for her by a Nigerian artist, Progress, and that she owns it. That ownership claim has not been independently verified.
In his apology, Enemuo said he uploaded the song to help share it with a wider audience and not to infringe on her rights. He said he had removed it from all streaming platforms and would work with his distributor to clear the claim, which he said could take 24 to 48 hours.
Ademoye was not persuaded. “I’m still very angry! You claimed you wanted to help me reach a wider audience,” she wrote. She questioned how a man with 250 subscribers could help her reach a wider audience when she has almost two million, and asked why he claimed her earnings afterwards.
She also pushed back on critics who accused her of seeking publicity or being careless with copyright. She said she had registered copyright on all her projects and shared screenshots of messages from people whose channels she previously had taken down for infringing her work.
The row recalls a similar dispute in January 2026 over her film “Where Love Lives”. Ademoye has also called on YouTube and YouTube Africa to intervene, and says she will not stay silent over the matter.
