Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bimbo Ademoye, has rejected an apology from a Nigerian man accused of triggering a copyright claim that temporarily affected the monetisation of her YouTube movie, *My 30th Wedding*.

The actress maintained that she would pursue the matter despite the individual’s public apology, insisting that the incident had affected her creative work and earnings.

The man, identified as Mazi Enemuo, had apologised after uploading the movie’s soundtrack to digital streaming platforms, a move that reportedly triggered a YouTube Content ID copyright claim against the film.

In his apology, Enemuo explained that he intended to promote the soundtrack and expose it to a wider audience rather than infringe on the filmmaker’s rights.

He also accepted responsibility for the incident, claiming that he had removed the song from streaming platforms and was working with his distributor to ensure the copyright claim was withdrawn.

However, Ademoye rejected the explanation, questioning the man’s claim that he was promoting her work, particularly given the disparity between his YouTube audience and her channel’s subscriber base.

She also expressed concern over the attempt to claim earnings from a movie she had independently produced.

The actress warned that she would take further steps over the incident, stressing that creators should not be allowed to benefit from another person’s intellectual property without authorisation.

The controversy followed Ademoye’s earlier offer of a one-million-naira reward to anyone who could provide information leading to the identification and location of the individual responsible for the copyright claim.

Although she later announced that monetisation on *My 30th Wedding* had been restored, the actress indicated that the restoration would not end her pursuit of the matter.

The film, released on October 1, 2026, has reportedly attracted millions of views on YouTube.
