Copyright Row: Bimbo Ademoye Alleges Song Theft as YouTube Movie Gets Demonetised
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bimbo Ademoye, has raised the alarm over an alleged copyright infringement involving her YouTube movie Where Love Lives, which she said has resulted in the demonetisation of the film on the platform.
Ademoye accused an individual identified as Emmanuel Davies of falsely claiming ownership of a song used in the movie, despite her assertion that she holds full rights to the soundtrack. According to the actress, the alleged action triggered a copyright claim that prevented her from earning revenue from the film.
Where Love Lives, which was released in December 2025, has amassed over 18 million views on YouTube.
Reacting in a series of posts on her Instagram page on Saturday, Ademoye expressed frustration over the situation and issued an ultimatum, demanding the immediate removal of the copyright claim.
“But Emmanuel, you have one 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 sweat,” she wrote.
The actress further alleged that the same individual uploaded the song to Spotify and other streaming platforms, listing himself as the composer.
She warned of consequences if the issue was not resolved promptly, calling on anyone familiar with the accused or associated platforms to intervene. Ademoye also disclosed that this was not her first experience with copyright disputes, noting that she was already pursuing another individual over a similar issue.
“Emmanuel Davies! YOU HAVE 1 HOUR… whoever knows Lagos Sound/Emmanuel Davies should warn him now! Before I handle this my own way,” she wrote.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no public response from Emmanuel Davies regarding the allegation.
