In a heartfelt post, Ademoye said:

THE COPYRIGHT DISPUTE

The tension began when Bimbo Ademoye reported that a Lagos-based individual, operating under the name Emmanuel Davies, had plagiarized sound from her YouTube film, Where Love Lives. The unauthorized use triggered a copyright claim that temporarily demonetized the film, cutting off its revenue stream and causing significant stress for the actress.

In a post made a day earlier, Ademoye expressed her distress over the situation, revealing how the plagiarism affected her personally and professionally. She described the ordeal as emotionally draining, noting that even answering messages or calls was overwhelming due to the intensity of the experience.

THE ROLE OF FANS AND SUPPORT GROUPS

Following Ademoye’s call for help, her fans and supporters rallied behind her. They reported the fake account repeatedly across multiple platforms, ensuring that the infringing content was removed. Industry colleagues also stepped in to provide guidance and support, further speeding up the resolution.

The collaborative effort ultimately led to the restoration of monetization for Where Love Lives, bringing an end to the weeks-long ordeal.

Undoubtedly, Bimbo Ademoye’s experience underscores the challenges movie, songs producers and content creators face in protecting their intellectual property in the digital age.

Yet, it also highlights the power of community and persistence, as her fans, colleagues, and family helped turn a frustrating situation into a victorious moment. With her film’s monetization restored, Ademoye can now focus fully on her creative projects, strengthened by the unwavering support of her cyber family.
