Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bimbo Ademoye, has escalated her allegations of copyright infringement, vowing to pursue legal action over what she described as the theft of her intellectual property.

In a detailed post shared on her Instagram page, Ademoye explained that she took down earlier posts on the matter following advice from her management. She clarified that the controversy began after she woke up to discover that monetisation had been removed from her movie ‘Where Love Lives’.

According to the actress, a song used in the film — which she said she fully owns and used with complete approval from the artiste — was allegedly lifted and falsely claimed by an individual identified as Emmanuel Davies.

She alleged that the individual filed copyright claims on the song, resulting in the removal of monetisation and effectively redirecting revenue from the movie to himself.

Ademoye stressed that she operates professionally, noting that she conducts due diligence before releasing any project and pays for all soundtracks used in her films. She described the situation as disturbing, questioning how someone could allegedly steal her song and present it as their own.

The actress stated that she has reported the matter to the authorities and vowed not to relent until justice is served.

She also appealed to the public for any useful information about Emmanuel Davies, asking that such details be sent via email to aid investigations.

She said, “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 l see you behind bars, I will not rest. I’d let the authorities do their job.

“If anyone has any vital information on Emmanuel Davies pls send an email. Thank you.”

In a related development, Ademoye also referenced a previous copyright dispute involving another individual, Anwuli, over her film ‘To Be a Friend’.

She disclosed that she has declined an offer to settle the matter out of court, insisting that the case proceed legally.

Ademoye said the earlier incident led to the loss of a movie that had garnered over six million views, adding that she is determined to see the current matter concluded through a court judgment.

Popular Nigerian content creator, Shank has stirred reactions online after opening up about a personal clash with his mother over tattoos, while also revealing a fresh body ink linked to his “Lit Gang” identity.

The revelation surfaced in a recent viral video shared on his social platforms, where he recounted the moment he tattooed his mother’s name, “Oluremi,” on his arm.

According to him, what he expected to be an emotional moment quickly turned tense.

“The day I tattooed my mum’s name on my arm, she started crying and quoting Bible,” Shank said.

He explained that his mother strongly opposed the act, citing religious reasons and warning him against marking his body.

“She told me, ‘did I ask you to draw my name? I don’t like it. Don’t do tattoo again. God said don’t mark your body,’” he recalled.

Shank, however, said he challenged her stance by pointing out what he described as a contradiction.

“I asked her, if you say I should leave my body the way God created it, why do you shave your hair? You that shave hair and me that draw tattoo, we are committing the same sin,” he added.

The content creator used the moment to advise young people navigating similar situations with parents, stressing the importance of independence when making personal decisions.

“Just make sure you’re independent before doing what your parents are not comfortable with,” he said.

Amid the conversation, Shank also unveiled a new tattoo on his back with the inscription “Lit Gang,” a move that has further fueled reactions among fans.

While some social media users backed his arguement on personal choice and self-expression, others sided with his mother, citing cultural and religious concerns about body markings.

The development has continued to generate debate online, highlighting the growing tension between traditional beliefs and modern youth culture in Nigeria’s entertainment space.
