Actress Ademoye rejects apology over movie demonetisation

Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has rejected an apology from Mazi Enemuo, who filed a copyright claim against her YouTube movie My 30th Wedding. Ademoye had offered a ₦1m reward for information about Enemuo, as a copyright claim temporarily affected the monetisation of the film, which has garnered about 29 million views. Ademoye accused Enemuo of uploading a song from the movie and using it to claim earnings, despite its special production and ownership by her.

She demanded the return of monetisation and threatened legal action if the issue was not resolved. Enemuo later apologised, stating that he had uploaded the song to promote the movie and had taken it down within 24 to 48 hours. However, Ademoye described the apology as insincere, questioning why he specifically chose the uncopyrighted song and why he attempted to claim earnings from the movie.
