Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has warned an alleged intellectual property thief, Emmanuel Davies, also known as Lagos Sound, over the unauthorized use of soundtracks from her movie, Where Love Lives.
According to the actress, Emmanuel Davies allegedly stole the movie’s soundtracks and copyrighted them without permission. She said this action has stopped her from earning money from her movie, Where Love Lives.
Bimbo also revealed that the same person, who she described as a distributor, went further to demonetize her movie on YouTube. The film currently has over 18 million views on the platform.
Expressing her anger, the actress said she is not someone who likes to threaten people, but she issued a strong warning to Emmanuel Davies. In a post, she wrote that when she eventually finds him, he would regret his actions.
The actress called out the alleged theft as unfair and damaging to her hard work and creativity. She wrote on Instagram: “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.”
