Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has announced a N1 million reward for anyone who can provide information leading to the identification of an individual she accused of making an unauthorised copyright claim against a song featured in her latest film, My 30th Wedding.
Titiansloaded reports that the actress disclosed this in an Instagram post on Monday, where she expressed anger over the situation and called on social media users to help track down the person behind the claim.
Ademoye alleged that the individual had asserted ownership of a song created specifically for the film by musician Progress, insisting that she holds the rights to the track.
She said the dispute was particularly frustrating because of the resources and effort invested in producing the movie, which premiered on October 1.
In her post, the actress offered N1 million to anyone who could provide the person’s location or other useful information to help identify them.
She also appealed to her followers to report the account on relevant platforms, while urging YouTube and its African division to intervene in the matter.
Ademoye alleged that the account had uploaded the disputed material about three weeks earlier and was subsequently claiming ownership of it.
The filmmaker’s complaint comes amid previous copyright-related concerns involving some of her productions distributed on YouTube.
In January 2026, she raised an alarm over a similar dispute concerning the soundtrack of her movie, Where Love Lives, claiming that the issue had affected the film’s monetisation.
Her earlier production, To Be a Friend, also reportedly encountered a copyright dispute in August 2025, after attracting close to six million views on YouTube.
The latest incident has renewed attention on the copyright challenges faced by filmmakers who distribute their work through online platforms, particularly disputes involving music rights and content monetisation.
