Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye is not in a forgiving mood. The star has publicly turned down an apology from Mazi Enemuo, the man whose upload of a song from her YouTube film My 30th Wedding set off a copyright claim that briefly cut off the movie's earnings, and she says she still intends to act against him.
Her reply, posted on Instagram on Tuesday alongside a screenshot of Enemuo's message, made one thing plain: the restoration of her money has not cooled her temper.
How the trouble started
My 30th Wedding premiered on Ademoye's YouTube channel on October 1, 2026, and Punch reports that it has pulled in roughly 29 million views. According to the reports, Enemuo put one of the film's songs on a music distribution service, and that service then lodged an automated YouTube Content ID claim against the movie itself.
The track in question is titled "We Can Take It (My 30th Wedding)". Ademoye says the musician Progress made it specifically for the film and that the rights belong to her, Punch reported.
When the claim landed on Monday, the actress went to Instagram fuming, accusing Enemuo of using the song to grab earnings from her project. She then put a price on finding him. "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," she wrote.
She also asked fans to report the account on every social platform and tagged YouTube and YouTube Africa, urging them to step in.
Not long after, she told followers that monetisation on the film was back on and thanked her team. Creebhills reports that she specifically credited filmmaker Uduak Isong, Sir Fela and Progress, the singer behind the soundtrack, for helping sort it out. Even so, Punch noted, she said the N1 million bounty on Enemuo was still standing.
Enemuo says sorry
Enemuo responded with an open apology on Instagram on November 10, 2026. He insisted that his aim was to give the soundtrack more reach, not to trample on the actress's ownership.
"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, according to Creebhills.
Punch quoted him further: "Unfortunately, the distribution platform has laid a YouTube Content ID claim on the content. I take full responsibility for the situation and have since taken down the song from all streaming platforms."
He said the claim was generated automatically by his distributor, that the recording should vanish from every platform within a day or two, and that he would reach out to the distributor so nothing lingered. P.M. News also reported that he said he was working with the distributor to have the claim fully lifted.
