A popular Lagos event host, Sadiq Adebimpe, better known as Sceed Barms, recently took the Internet by storm when a viral video showed what he described as his “most challenging event-hosting experience to date”.
The video, which has racked up an impressive 966,666 views and over 75,000 likes on Instagram, 888,888 views on X (formerly Twitter) and 238,000 views on TikTok shows the hypeman and event host/compere turning what could have been a sad day for a new couple and their guests into a more intimate and memorable experience.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Adebimpe narrated how he overcame technical challenges to host the viral event.
He said, “As a master of ceremonies, I had to think on my feet when the challenges came up. I wanted the couple and their guests to enjoy their day, because I knew how special it was for them.”
Leveraging his wealth of experience, he hosted the wedding reception without music, microphones, speakers or a DJ. He calmed the frustrated guests and couple and “created” a choir from among the audience who sang enthusiastically for the newlyweds.
Many comments from his colleagues are that he raised the bar with his professionalism and expertise. Some say he didn’t just host a wedding, he orchestrated an experience that people will talk about for years.
Adebimpe has anchored over 500 events, including corporate dinners, summits, conferences, weddings, birthdays, concerts, and end-of-year parties, and has worked with top event organizers and entertainers.
