Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has raised concerns over another copyright dispute involving her YouTube movie, My 30th Wedding, after a song featured in the production was flagged on the platform, affecting its monetisation.

The actress announced the development on Monday, November 9, in an Instagram post, where she offered a ₦1 million reward to anyone who could provide information leading to the identification and location of the individual behind the copyright claim.

Expressing her frustration, Ademoye wrote, “I’m sick and tired of this. I have 1 MILLION NAIRA FOR ANYONE WHO CAN LOCATE THIS PERSON FOR ME. I will not rest until I catch this one.”

She alleged that the individual was claiming ownership of a song produced specifically for her by musician Progress, which she said she had fully paid for and owned the rights to.

“A movie I spent my blood on. You’re claiming copyright for a song that was done for me by @progressofficial_ that I fully own,” she wrote.

The copyright notice reportedly identified the song as We Can Take It (My 30th Wedding), attributed to Mazi Enemuo. The claim rendered the movie ineligible to earn revenue on YouTube.

Ademoye further alleged that the individual had uploaded the song about three weeks earlier before claiming ownership of it.

She urged her followers to report the account across social media platforms and appealed to YouTube and YouTube Africa to intervene.

“Guys pls help me report this person on all platforms; he or she uploaded it 3 weeks ago, clearly targeted me and is now claiming ownership,” she said.

However, on Tuesday, November 10, the filmmaker announced that the monetisation issue had been resolved.

In another Instagram post, she wrote, “WE’RE BACK ON, GUYS. GOD IS GOOD. THANK YOU JESUS. OUR MONETIZATION IS BACK ON.”

She thanked her godmother and filmmaker Uduak Isong, associate Sir Fela and Progress for their intervention.

Despite the resolution, Ademoye maintained that her ₦1 million reward for information that could help locate the individual remained available.

The incident adds to previous copyright disputes involving three of the actress’s YouTube productions: To Be a Friend, Where Love Lives and My 30th Wedding.

In January 2026, Ademoye raised concerns over a copyright claim involving the soundtrack of Where Love Lives, alleging that an individual identified as Emmanuel Davies had claimed ownership of a song used in the film.

She maintained that she had paid for the soundtracks used in her productions and secured the necessary rights before uploading them.

Her 2025 movie, To Be a Friend, also reportedly encountered copyright-related challenges. The film was similarly affected by sound-related copyright concerns after attracting millions of views.

The recurring incidents have drawn attention to copyright protection in the digital age, as Nigerian filmmakers increasingly turn to YouTube for film distribution and revenue generation.
