He made the remarks during the fifth remembrance event held in honour of late Afrobeats icon Sound Sultan, where family, friends and colleagues gathered to reflect on the singer’s life and legacy.
Addressing attendees, Adedimeji emphasised that Islam should not merely be professed but practised in visible and meaningful ways.
“No matter what your profession is, let people detect Islam in what you do,” he said. “Is it reflecting in your deeds? In how you relate with people? Once that is done, Alhamdulillah, you are getting there.”
The 42-year-old actor, known for his role in Lisabi, described Islam as a faith that transcends fame and worldly achievements.
“Islam is beautiful. Islam is sweet. No matter your level of fame or who you think you are, embrace it. I put it on my head, and Allah has been merciful,” he added.
Although Adedimeji noted that he never had the opportunity to work directly with Sound Sultan, he said the late musician’s influence remains strong years after his passing.
“I miss his ways of Allah and I miss his music. His music still resonates till tomorrow,” he said.
The remembrance event brought together figures from the entertainment industry and members of the Muslim community to honour Sound Sultan’s enduring spiritual and artistic legacy.
