Drake has paid a tribute to popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead on Sunday in Jawaharke village of Mansa district in Punjab at the age of 28.
The 28-year-old singer, also a Congress leader, was killed a day after the state government curtailed his security cover. Drake took to his Instagram Stories on Sunday night to remember Moosewala.
“RIP MOOSE @sidhu_moosewala,” he captioned a picture of the “So High” hitmaker with his mother.
In 2020, Drake made headlines when he started following Moosewala on Instagram. Moosewala, who counted Drake as one of his music influences and followed him on social media, was a regular performer at live shows in Canada.
