Sidhu Moosewala and AP Dhillon
After Sidhu Moosewala’s untimely demise, India-born Canadian rapper AP Dhillon has expressed his shock and grief over the murder. Moosewala was shot dead on May 29 by unidentified assailants in Jawaharke village of Mansa district in Punjab. The incident happened just a day after the Punjab government withdrew the security of 424 people, including the singer. He was rushed to a local hospital where the doctors declared him dead. Expressing concern over the incident, Dhillon, who is best known for his hit tracks like Insane and Brown Munde, took to his Instagram and highlighted how difficult it is to be a ‘Punjabi artist behind the scenes on a daily basis’ as they have to face ‘constant judgement, hate-filled comments and threats.’

AP Dhillon wrote that although Moosewala might be gone, his legacy is alive. “Most people will never know the extent of what you have to deal with as a Punjabi artist behind the scenes on a daily basis. With constant judgement, hate-filled comments, threats and negative energy directed towards people like us, who are just doing what we love to do,” he wrote.
In his tribute to Moosewala, Dhillon continued, “I always admired how Sidhu was able to rise above it all. He made it look easy and stayed true to himself. Today I am praying for his family and praying for our community. We need to do better.”
