Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has vowed to make an example of one Mazi Enemuo, who filed a copyright claim against her YouTube movie, My 30th Wedding.
The actress said this in an Instagram post on Tuesday, while reacting to Enemuo’s apology.
She had earlier offered a N1 million reward for any information leading to the arrest of Enemuo after her movie’s monetisation was suspended over the claim.
She said Enemuo had uploaded a song, We Can Take It (My 30th Wedding), which was specifically produced for the movie by Progress, and used it to earn, urging her followers to report him.
She later announced that monetisation on the movie had been restored.
Enemuo subsequently apologised, saying he had uploaded the song to promote the movie’s soundtrack and reach a wider audience.
In a public apology, he said, “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 added that the song would be removed from all platforms within 24 to 48 hours and that he would contact the distributor to ensure that no residual claim remained.

But responding to the apology on Instagram on Tuesday, Ademoye questioned his explanation that he had intended to help her reach a wider audience.
“Mr Enemuo, while I see your apology, I call complete bullshit! I took multiple breaths and I’ve counted 1-10 multiple times to ensure I calm down and not say anything out of pocket but guess what, I’m still very angry!
“You claimed you wanted to help me reach a wider audience, I’m not sure you thought that statement through, you wanted to use your 250 subscribers to help me reach a wider audience with my almost 2 million subscribers?” she asked.
“But I’d make an example out of you. Don’t ever take my silence for weakness, believe me when I tell you I AM NOT THAT NICE AT ALL! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MY WORK.”
