Bimbo Ademoye Offers ₦1 Million Reward to Track Down Copyright Claimant
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has offered a ₦1 million reward to anyone who can help identify and locate an individual she accused of making an alleged false copyright claim on her latest movie, My 30th Wedding.
The actress made the announcement on Instagram on Monday, November 9, 2026, expressing frustration over a copyright dispute involving a song featured in the movie.
According to Bimbo, the song was specially produced for her by Nigerian musician Progress, and she maintains that she owns the rights to the track. However, she alleged that another individual uploaded the song about three weeks ago and subsequently claimed ownership, affecting the movie’s monetisation on YouTube.
She appealed to her followers to help identify the individual and urged YouTube and YouTube Africa to intervene in the matter.
This is not the first time the actress has raised concerns about copyright disputes involving her productions. In January 2026, she also complained about a similar incident involving her movie Where Love Lives.
The latest development has once again highlighted the growing concerns surrounding music ownership, copyright protection and revenue losses among Nigerian filmmakers distributing their works online.
