Bimbo Ademoye Offers ₦1m To Track Alleged False Copyright Claimant

 

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has offered ₦1 million to anyone who can help identify a person she accused of making an alleged false copyright claim on a song used in her latest movie, _My 30th Wedding_.

The actress made the offer on Monday in an Instagram post, saying the alleged copyright claim affected her work.

Bimbo, who released _My 30th Wedding_ on October 1, alleged that the individual claimed ownership of a song produced for her by musician Progress, which she said she fully owns.

She 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. 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. I’m tired of this.

“This is sickening. How do you sit down and try to claim someone’s sweat, so all the money would go to you and you too you’d take it. OK now.

“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. @youtube @youtubeafrica pls do better; this is getting tiring.

“Anyone who can send me the location of this person gets 1m from me. Let’s all be mad together.”

She also urged her followers to report the account and called on YouTube and YouTube Africa to address the situation.

This is not the first time the actress has complained about copyright claims involving her YouTube movies.

In January 2026, Ademoye raised concerns over a similar dispute involving the soundtrack of her movie, _Where Love Lives_, alleging that a copyright claim affected its monetisation.

Her movie _To Be a Friend_ also reportedly faced a copyright dispute in August 2025 after recording nearly six million views on YouTube.
