Tributes have begun to pour in for the late rapper; several International celebs have also paid their condolences to the artist.
Rapper Drake posted a photo of Sidhu Moose Wala on Instagram with the comment “RIP Moose.”
Punjab state’s top police official VK Bhawra said the initial investigation has revealed the killing to be an inter-gang rivalry.
A day before the attack, the Punjab government had pulled security cover for over 400 individuals, including Moose Wala, in a bid to clamp down on VIP culture, local media reports said.
Moose Wala started off as a songwriter before a hit song in 2017 catapulted his singing career, making him well known among the Indian and Punjabi diaspora in countries like the United Kingdom and Canada.
Most of his singles have an English title even though the songs were mainly sung in Punjabi.
His glossy music videos were most famous for his rap lyrics and often focused on macho culture. His debut album in 2018 made it to Canada’s Billboard Albums chart.
Moose Wala was a controversial figure, in part due to his lyrical style. In 2020, police charged him under India’s Arms Act for allegedly promoting gun culture in one of his songs.
His latest track, “The Last Ride,” was released earlier this month.
