Bimbo Ademoye has cried out over an alleged copyright fraud that has reportedly affected revenue from her YouTube movie, Where Love Lives
The actress revealed that the film was unexpectedly demonetised after an individual allegedly laid claim to a song used in the movie.
According to her, the person not only filed a copyright claim but also went ahead to upload the same song on Spotify and other digital streaming platforms, falsely presenting himself as the original creator.
Where Love Lives, released in December 2025, has enjoyed massive success online, amassing over 18 million views before the monetisation issue surfaced.
Reacting angrily to the situation, Ademoye took to Instagram to address the issue publicly, warning the alleged offender to withdraw the claim or face legal consequences.
She wrote:
“I took down the other posts as advised by my management. For clarity , I woke up to monetization on our movie where love lives being taken down. A song I have full ownership of , a track I fully own with full approval from the artist was lifted and claimed by one emmanuel Davies. Not only did he steal MY SONG, he claimed copyrights and took monetization which means he’s claiming the money from the movie belongs to him .. I’m not an irresponsible person, i do not take what doesn’t belong to me, I do all my findings before uploading a movie. I pay for all the soundtracks I use in My movie. Why one person would wake up one day, steal my song and claim it to be his own, I don’t know. But this is me saying ,Emmanuel Davies, until I see you behind bars, I will not rest. I’d let the authorities do thier job. If anyone has any vital information on Emmanuel Davies pls send an email. Thank you.”
The actress further alleged that this was not the first time she had faced a similar issue, referencing a past incident involving another individual.
“PS. Anwuli, you did this same thing to me for ‘to be a friend’. Information reaching me has it that you want to settle out of court. This is me declining that offer. No I don’t want to settle out of court darling. You started it by making me lose a movie at 6 million views. Now I want to finish it with final words from a judge. Pls get ready.”
Ademoye made it clear that she is prepared to pursue the matter legally, insisting she will no longer tolerate what she described as deliberate attempts to sabotage her work and earnings.
