Actress questions his claim that he uploaded the soundtrack to promote her film, insists ₦1m reward remains in place
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bimbo Ademoye, has rejected an apology from a man identified as Mazi Enemuo, who filed a copyright claim against her YouTube movie, My 30th Wedding, insisting that she remains angry over the incident.
The actress had earlier announced a ₦1m reward for anyone who could provide information leading to Enemuo after a copyright claim temporarily affected the monetisation of the movie, which has reportedly attracted about 29 million views.
Released on October 1, 2026, on her YouTube channel, the film became the subject of controversy after Ademoye alleged that Enemuo uploaded one of its songs and subsequently claimed earnings from the project.
In a series of Instagram posts on Monday, the actress explained that the soundtrack, titled “We Can Take It (My 30th Wedding),” was specially produced for the film by musician Progress and that she owned the rights to it.
“I have 1 MILLION NAIRA FOR ANYONE WHO CAN LOCATE THIS PERSON FOR ME. I will not rest until I catch this one. A movie I spent my blood on,” she wrote.
Ademoye also urged her followers to report the individual across social media platforms and appealed to YouTube and YouTube Africa to intervene.
She later announced that monetisation on the movie had been restored, thanking her team for their intervention. However, she maintained that the ₦1m reward remained in place.
Enemuo subsequently issued a public apology, claiming that he uploaded the soundtrack to help promote the movie and expose it to a wider audience, rather than infringe on the actress’s rights.
He said the distribution platform had placed a YouTube Content ID claim on the content and accepted responsibility for the situation.
“Unfortunately, the distribution platform has laid a YouTube Content ID claim on the content. I take full responsibility for the situation and have since taken down the song from all streaming platforms,” he said.
He further promised that the song would be removed from all platforms within 24 to 48 hours and that he would contact the distributor to ensure that no residual copyright claim remained.
However, reacting to the apology on Instagram on Tuesday, Ademoye described it as insincere, questioning his explanation that he had intended to help her reach a wider audience.
“Mr Enemuo, while I see your apology, I call complete bullshit! I took multiple breaths and I’ve counted 1-10 multiple times to ensure I calm down and not say anything out of pocket but guess what, I’m still very angry!
“You claimed you wanted to help me reach a wider audience, I’m not sure you thought that statement through, you wanted to use your 250 subscribes to help me reach a wider audience with my almost 2 million subscribers?” she wrote.
The actress also questioned why he chose that particular soundtrack instead of other songs featured in the movie.
“You specifically took the song I didn’t properly copyright of all the songs in the movie. Why didn’t you take hammerboi’s song? If anything, that’s the viral one I’d have loved to go even more viral song,” she added.
Ademoye further challenged Enemuo’s explanation by asking why he allegedly attempted to claim earnings from the movie after supposedly uploading the soundtrack to promote it.
“After you ‘helped me reach a wider audience’ why did you try to claim my earnings? Why did you monetise it and have me demonitised?” she asked.
Reiterating her determination to pursue the matter, the actress warned against interpreting her silence as weakness.
“But I’d make an example out of you. Don’t ever take my silence for weakness, believe me when I tell you I AM NOT THAT NICE AT ALL! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MY WORK,” she wrote.
In a postscript to her response, Ademoye also dismissed suggestions that she was using the controversy for publicity or had failed to protect her work through copyright registration.
She shared screenshots of messages from individuals who, according to her, had contacted her after their YouTube channels were taken down following copyright enforcement on her projects.
