Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has offered a ₦1 million reward to anyone who can help identify the individual behind a copyright claim against her YouTube movie, My 30th Wedding.
Ademoye made the offer in an Instagram post on Monday after YouTube flagged the movie for allegedly containing copyright-protected audio.
A screenshot shared by the actress showed that the platform had detected a song titled We Can Take It (My 30th Wedding), credited to Mazi Enemuo, in the movie. The video was subsequently marked as ineligible to earn revenue.
Reacting to the development, Ademoye said the song was specially produced for her by musician Progress and that she fully owned the rights to it.
Expressing frustration over the claim, the actress offered ₦1 million to anyone who could help locate the person responsible.
She alleged that the individual had uploaded the song only three weeks earlier and was deliberately targeting her project to claim ownership and divert its revenue.
Ademoye questioned why anyone would attempt to benefit financially from a project into which she had invested considerable time and resources.
She also urged her followers to report the account across social media platforms and appealed to YouTube and YouTube Africa to intervene.
The actress said she was determined to identify the claimant and resolve the dispute, insisting that she would not relent until the matter was addressed.
