More than a week has passed since the death of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in Punjab. As the music industry and his fans mourn his passing, rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh paid tribute to the late singer at an occasion in Mumbai on Sunday.
Honey Singh can be seen on stage in a video shared on a paparazzi account, with Moosewala’s song “So High” playing in the background. In addition to performing the late singer’s signature thappi step, the rapper slaps his thighs before raising his hand in the air, leaving the audience cheering for him.

Honey Singh’s gesture moved fans, who remembered Sidhu Moosewala. “He’ll always be remembered,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Legend never die.” Singh’s fans were ecstatic to see him back on stage, with one user writing on social media, “Good to see honey singh back in action.” The “Blue Eyes” singer was previously seen at the IIFA 2022 in Abu Dhabi.
Not only Indian artists, but also Nigerian singer Burna Boy, paid an emotional tribute to Sidhu Moosewala during his show. In an Instagram video, Burna mentioned Moosewala’s name and broke down, hiding his face behind his arm. Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, the singer’s real name, also performed Moosewala’s signature step.
Moosewala’s death drew tributes from several Bollywood celebrities, including Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, Salim Merchant, Swara Bhasker, Vishal Dadlani, and Diljit Dosanjh. Sidhu Moosewala was killed last week near Mansa, just days after his security was reduced. He was shot while driving his SUV with two others in the village of Jhawahar Ke in the Mansa district, and he was declared dead at the Mansa Civil Hospital.
Fans of late singer-politician Sidhu Moosewala are excitedly awaiting the release of a song he wrote and sang about the Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue, Punjab’s rights over river waters, and Sikh prisoners languishing in jails, even as his family urged all music producers not to share or discharge any of his unfinished tracks with anyone other than his father.
