AP Dhillon recognised the late rapper and Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala during his Coachella performance. Dhillon, with musician and rapper Shinda Kahlon, paid tribute to Sidhu during his performance.
He shared images of the incident on Instagram and took aim at haters who criticised him for smashing his guitar during his show.
On April 17, the Indian-origin Canadian musician published photos on his official Instagram account. “Justice for Sidhu Moosewala” reads the text on the screen in the background as Dhillon and Shinda perform their chartbuster track ‘Brown Munde’ on stage.
Several videos of his performance have been published on different X fan pages.
Sidhu Moosewala, 29, was killed in Mansa only days before his birthday. He was shot and killed in broad daylight on May 29, 2022. Millions of fans lamented his death and demanded justice.
Meanwhile, AP Dhillon, who delivered a standout performance at Coachella, shared a video of himself destroying his guitar onstage. Several online people chastised him for this move, leaving similar comments below the video.
