In 2016, Mr. Sidhu came to Canada on a student visa and found meteoric success. In his brief but successful career, he gained millions of fans all over the world. Each of his videos have racked up tens of millions of views on YouTube

Gursewak Dhillon, a Punjabi rapper based in Abbotsford, B.C., said he “revolutionized Punjabi music in Canada.”

Sidhu Moose Wala is credited with pushing the envelope of Punjabi hip-hop, by combining conventional Punjabi pop music with trap. One of his biggest influences was 90s rap star Tupac Shakur, who was also shot to death. Critics have called out Mr. Sidhu’s lyrics for glorifying gun culture and gang violence. Many of his videos depicted him dominating police officers and toting guns. In 2019, the City of Surrey, B.C., asked the organizers of a music festival to drop Sidhu Moose Wala’s performance based on an RCMP public-safety assessment.

Mr. Dhillon says it was his life’s story that resonated with younger immigrants. “He came from nothing. Many young kids on student visas look at people like him and think if he can come from a village in Punjab and become successful in Canada, we can too.”
