The issue centres on Where Love Lives, a film released in December 2025 that has since amassed more than 18 million views. The project reportedly lost its monetisation after an individual claimed copyright ownership of a song used in the film.
According to the actress and filmmaker behind the production, the claimant not only flagged the content on YouTube but also allegedly uploaded the same song to Spotify and other streaming platforms, identifying himself as the composer. She maintains that she holds full rights to the song and did not authorise its use or redistribution by any third party.
Reacting to the development, the filmmaker took to Instagram to express frustration and issued a public ultimatum, calling on the individual—identified as “Lagos Sound” or “Emmanuel Davies”—to immediately withdraw the copyright claim. She warned that failure to do so would result in further action.
In a series of posts, she described the situation as an attempt to appropriate her work and block her from earning revenue from her own film, adding that the matter follows an earlier unresolved dispute with another individual.
The incident has reignited conversations around copyright abuse, digital content protection, and the challenges faced by creators in safeguarding their work on global platforms. As of the time of reporting, it remains unclear whether the copyright claim has been lifted or if formal legal steps have been initiated.
