Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known around the world by his stage name Sidhu Moose Wala, was killed Sunday evening while driving his car in Mansa, a district in northern India's Punjab state. Moose Wala, 28, was rushed to the hospital where he was declared dead.
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.
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.

Unfortunate demise for this "artist", but it is nice to see American culture being embraced world-wide.

I feel this same now as I did when Tupac got shot.

Rap “artist.” One of the most dangerous occupations anywhere in the world it seems.

Even in India, rap kills.

Rap culture is very strong - it translates across borders and nations without much deviation!

Rap Culture is an oxymoron.

Wow, 20 seconds of that and I want to go hurl breakfast.
What’s with those Indian guys appropriating the best of American culture and video making? How insensitive can they be?

It certainly kills the car speakers - judging by other cars at the gas station.
Some must love the sound of damaged speakers.

With that sloppy trigger discipline he may have shot himself.

Maybe they are trying to break their kids of listening to it.
I found that turning it up and loudly singing along breaks the rap habit in teenage boys.
Nothing your mom can do is cool.
