Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has expressed outrage after someone filed a copyright claim on a song from her YouTube film Where Love Lives, resulting in the demonetisation of her content.
The December 2025 release has been a hit online, amassing over 18 million views, but Ademoye says her work has been targeted by an individual who allegedly also uploaded the song on Spotify and other streaming platforms, falsely claiming authorship.
Taking to Instagram, the actress issued a stern warning to the person identified as Emmanuel Davies, demanding the copyright claim be removed within a strict timeframe.
“I woke up to my hard work wanting to be stolen from me. Please if anyone knows who lagos sound/emmanuel Davies is! Tell to lift the copyright from my movie in the next 1 hour. I’m not one to threaten people,” Ademoye wrote.
She insisted that she owns all rights to the song and accused the individual of blocking her from earning from her own creation.
“But emmanuel, you have 1 hour to lift that copyright from My movie. A song I completely own the rights to, you took it, uploaded it, named yourself the composer and blocked me from making money from my own swear. Emmanuel Davies!” she added.
