Bimbo Ademoye Alleges Copyright Theft on YouTube Film, Vows Legal Action Against Offenders
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has raised serious concerns over an alleged copyright infringement that has affected the revenue from her YouTube film, Where Love Lives. According to Ademoye, her movie was demonetised after an individual reportedly claimed ownership of a song used in the film. She further alleged that the same person uploaded the track on Spotify and other digital streaming platforms, falsely presenting himself as the original creator. Released in December 2025, Where Love Lives has attracted significant attention online, racking up over 18 million views before the monetisation issue arose. Ademoye took to Instagram to express her frustration, warning the alleged offender to retract the copyright claim or face legal consequences. “I woke up to monetization on our movie Where Love Lives being taken down. A song I have full ownership of, 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, meaning he’s claiming the money from the movie belongs to him,” she wrote. She added: “I’m not an irresponsible person; I do all my research before uploading a movie and pay for every soundtrack I use. Why someone would steal my song and claim it as theirs, I don’t know. But Emmanuel Davies, until I see you behind bars, I will not rest. I’m letting the authorities do their job. Anyone with vital information on him, please email me. Thank you.” Ademoye also referenced a previous incident with another individual, Anwuli, claiming she had experienced a similar form of copyright infringement before: “PS. Anwuli, you did this same thing to me for To Be a Friend. I’ve heard you want to settle out of court. I’m declining that offer. You started this by making me lose a movie at 6 million views. Now I want closure with a final judgment from a court. Please get ready.” The actress made it clear that she intends to pursue the matter legally, insisting she will not allow anyone to exploit her work or deny her rightful earnings.

Jaywon, Ajebo Hustlers Trade Shots Online Over Diss Track, Old Port Harcourt Show Dispute
Veteran singer Jaywon and Port Harcourt duo Ajebo Hustlers are embroiled in a fiery social media feud that has fans buzzing across Nigeria. The conflict started after Ajebo Hustlers released a diss track targeting Jaywon and activist Seun Kuti. Responding with his trademark humor and sarcasm, Jaywon tweeted: “Wow Ajebo Hustlers lol, well that’s the weakest verse y’all ever made and I love you guys and you know it, but I understand your situation!! Try harder next time!!” He added jokingly: “The same Ajebo Hustlers wey I buy food for for Port Harcourt lol 😂.” Ajebo Hustlers fired back, accusing Jaywon of hypocrisy and dredging up an old incident from 2018. They claimed he was booked to perform at their show in Port Harcourt, failed to show up, and did not refund them. The duo tweeted: “You wey go upload our song on DSP say na cover you Dey do if no be hungry Dey do you then na Wetin? You wey na oyibo woman keep you for house 😂😂 @JAYWONJUWONLO. This fool @JAYWONJUWONLO that we booked in 2018 to come for our show in Port Harcourt. He didn’t show up, he didn’t refund. But na we dey hungry?? Such an ungrateful idiot.” Jaywon immediately responded, questioning their claims and asking them to provide proof: “How much did you pay, @Ajebo_Hustlers? It’s strange how we never had this conversation before, yet suddenly I’m being told I owe you. If there’s proof, show it to the world and take your refund. This is disappointing, but I’ve learned no amount of goodwill can change people who choose to be ungrateful.” He later tweeted again, blending humor with a message about loyalty: “In @ajebohustlers’s voice Kposs kposs It was love from the start, and it’s still love. But love without loyalty is nothing. Not everybody you show love to deserves it. Dissing someone you once called boss because of trends? That’s wild. About the money, if I owe you, post the evidence and I’ll pay publicly. Shebi una don blow now. No stress, understanding is coming. Still love. ❤️ #Obaorin #2026 I don’t want to be mature anymore!!” Ajebo Hustlers doubled down, accusing Jaywon of failing to support them early in their career by not helping to put their music on streaming platforms. They also mocked him, writing: “I dey fuck up sha, I dey exchange tweets with a nigga when dey proud that he’s friends with Bobrisky.” The exchange has sparked heated debates among fans over loyalty, respect, and the challenges of maintaining professional relationships in the Nigerian music industry.
VeryDarkMan Tells Wizkid “You Are Not Even Greater Than Me, Talk Less Of Fela” Amid Seun Kuti Feud
Social media activist VeryDarkMan has continued his criticism of Wizkid amid the ongoing dispute between the singer and Seun Kuti over the legacy of Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. VeryDarkMan, who previously accused Wizkid of disrespecting Fela, returned with fresh remarks in a new video where he questioned the singer’s impact and standing, both personally and socially. “Wizkid is not even greater than me talk less of Fela. He’s not. Contribution to the society? Get out, he’s not. A lot of them can’t even lace my boots.” He claimed Wizkid deliberately pushed boundaries after gauging public reaction, alleging that the singer encouraged his fans to disrespect Fela’s name. “He started a pattern, and after testing the waters he decided to try again. That is why he decided to do this one that he is doing to Fela. The sad part is that Wizkid did not read the room before he decided to do this thing to Fela by instigating his followers to insult Fela Kuti’s name.” According to VeryDarkMan, the situation reflects what he described as a long-standing habit of downplaying the achievements of industry figures who came before Wizkid. “What is this pattern? Wizkid likes to downplay the legacy of the people before him.” To support his argument, he referenced a past social media exchange involving Don Jazzy, accusing Wizkid of amplifying comments that diminished the veteran music executive’s influence. “I’ll give you an example: Don Jazzy. Wizkid say e no fit talk to person wey dey signed to an influencer. Then another person now ask, shay na Don Jazzy you dey talk to? And Wizkid reposted it. Then another person said Don Jazzy na influencer na, and Wizkid reposted it.” VeryDarkMan’s renewed comments have further fueled online conversations surrounding Wizkid’s clash with Seun Kuti, shifting the debate toward respect for music legends and how Fela’s legacy should be treated in contemporary discourse. Wizkid isn’t even greater than me, not to talk of Fela. What impact has he made on society? Until you bring something to the society, get out! 😭 — VeryDarkMan to Wizkid pic.twitter.com/yHXFLKc46M — Toluwase (@Toluwase_x) January 23, 2026
Caramel Plug Accuses Ex King Manny Of Stalking, Assaulting Friends And Refusing To Move On
Caramel Plug has taken to social media to accuse her ex-boyfriend, King Manny, an associate of Burna Boy, of stalking, harassment and violent behavior long after their relationship ended. In a lengthy post, the influencer alleged that despite parting ways, her ex repeatedly crossed boundaries, confronting people around her and attempting to intimidate those close to her. She claimed that one of the incidents happened at a club, where he allegedly attacked a male friend simply because he was seen with her. “Or do we talk about how Richie went to beat up my male friend at the club because he saw him with me?? AFTER WE HAVE SUPPOSEDLY PARTED WAYS????? LAST YEAR 2025!?? Let me end here.” Caramel Plug also accused him of nearly assaulting a female friend who was recording at the club, insisting the action was meant to get to her. “Oh oh? Or how he tried to injure my ex friend LAST YEAR 2025?? Because she was recording someone beside him??? Just to get to me??” She explained that she had remained silent for a long time to avoid unnecessary drama, stressing that her quietness was intentional and not a sign of ignorance. “Because I’m quite and I choose not to say anything don’t mean I’m stupid. The problem is, I moved on graciously. I intentionally didn’t want drama cause I had enough of it.” According to her, the alleged harassment went beyond physical confrontations, extending to attempts to damage her reputation and pry into her personal life through mutual contacts. “If it’s not you beating up a guy I’m with.. It’s you trying to scatter my name or going around asking questions about who I’m with and they all TELL ME you SENT THEM.” She further claimed that her ex threatened her friends and caused a scene at an event in December 2025 by tearing her image off a flyer. “Just last year you threatened to beat up my friend! Just last year! 2025. Same last year December you tore my picture off platnovas flyer! (2025!) During the set up for your so called party (detty wave or something like that December 2025) smh! Only for the people who watched you to look at you weirdly.” In one of the most disturbing allegations, Caramel Plug accused him of showing up at her residence and attempting to force his way in after she moved on. “Or how you came to my HOUSE TO KNOCK DOWN MY DAMNNN DOOOR!!!! Because I MOVED ON??? waking everybody up in my estate!!! Scaring everybody in my damn house! Deny this one, let me pull up my home cameras.” She described her ex as obsessive and bitter, claiming he could not accept that she had moved on and was thriving without him. “Your mind cannot comprehend how I’m happy and thriving successfully without you! You hate it soo much! You’d rather I’m sad, depressed and angry! Why!? We have no idea! I wish you well even till now but you’re just a very bitter soul!” Calling him out directly, she urged him to genuinely move on. “Richie Temitope Samson (Richie 7), Move on! Genuinely! Not that fake thing you’re doing.. then, you can find happiness and release me from yo tight chest!” Caramel Plug also reflected on the pressure that comes with ending a public relationship, questioning why choosing peace is often mistaken for emotional attachment. “You see the problem with having one public relationship is that when that relationship ends, even years after! somehow people think you’ve not moved on until you post yourself with another person…why?? is this not a big problem?? So somebody cannot choose their peace of mind? Na very serious problem be this o years ago? how many” She ended by saying she did not intend to begin the year with public drama but felt pushed to finally speak up. “This is not how I plan to start the year but if we’re going to play let’s play.”

OGB Recent Breaks Silence On Why iShowSpeed Snubbed Peller During Nigeria Visit
OGB Recent has shed light on the reason American streamer iShowSpeed reportedly declined to interact with Nigerian content creator Peller during his recent visit to Nigeria. According to OGB, the situation was influenced by Peller’s past comments and conduct. He revealed that Peller had earlier made a video declaring that he would ignore iShowSpeed if the streamer ever visited Nigeria. OGB explained that when he first arrived at the hotel where iShowSpeed was staying, he approached the bouncers politely and requested a photo opportunity for his “younger brother.” The request was initially accepted, but he was told iShowSpeed was not around at the time. He said that when iShowSpeed eventually arrived, he personally pleaded with him, explaining that his younger brother wanted to take a picture. However, things changed when Peller appeared, posing as that younger brother. “There was a time Peller made a video saying that he will ignore IShowSpeed if he comes to Nigeria. Apart from that, immediately I got to the hotel where IShowSpeed was, I approached the bouncer and told him please my younger brother wants to a picture with IShowSpeed, they agreed but told me he wasn’t in. When IShowSpeed came I begged him that my younger brother wants to take a picture with him. Immediately Peller, who was posing as my younger brother, came in, Baba no gree again,” OGB said. He added that the bouncers later commended his respectful manner, noting that someone else had approached them in a boastful and entitled way. “Now who’s to be blamed for this. Is it IShowSpeed or Peller. Me I will blame Peller because immediately I met those bouncers, they told me that can I see how respectfully I was talking to them. That there was a guy saying that he is this, he is that. As they said Peller I say Jesus. That was before they bounce Peller the second time,” he added. OGB’s account has further fueled online discussions over the incident and the factors that led to iShowSpeed refusing to engage with Peller. OGB Cvltist just revealed why Peller was unable to meet ishowSpeed. He said Peller deserves b£ating, he mentioned they complained about his manner of approach and it was because of that video he made that he won't see IshowSpeed when he coes to Nigeria 🚶 pic.twitter.com/RSdjKrYKQq — TENIOLA (@Teeniiola) January 23, 2026
