Bimbo Ademoye set to take action as she dismisses apology for movie demonetisation

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has responded to the apology from a man identified as Mazi Enemuo over a copyright claim that led to the demonetisation of her YouTube movie, My 30th Wedding.

In an Instagram apology posted on Tuesday, Enemuo claimed he uploaded the film’s soundtrack solely to help boost its reach, denying any intention of copyright infringement. He explained that his distribution platform automatically triggered the YouTube Content ID claim on the track.

To resolve the issue, Enemuo stated he has pulled the song from all streaming platforms and is working with his distributor to ensure the copyright claim is completely lifted.

“My intention in uploading the song was to help share and promote the beautiful sound with a wider audience, not to infringe on your rights or cause you any distress,” he wrote.

Dismissing the apology as “complete bullshit,” Ademoye maintained that she remains deeply furious over the incident. She openly questioned how Enemuo, with a modest following of around 250 subscribers, could logically claim to expand the audience of a creator who boasts nearly two million subscribers.

“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 subscribers to help me reach a wider audience with my almost 2 million subscribers?. After you ‘helped me reach a wider audience’, why did you try to claim my earnings? Why did you monetise it and have me demonetised?” she asked.

She vowed to make an example of Enemuo, warning him not to mistake her silence for weakness.

“If I don’t pick you up from Essex, I’d pick you up before your homecoming… 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. I’m on you, son! It’s not a threat,” she wrote.
