A candlelight vigil was organised in Mansa to commemorate Sidhu’s life. A huge turnout of the late singer’s fans and advocates assembled in Moosa village to partake in the vigil, advocating for “justice” on his behalf. Sidhu’s mother was also present at the event. A prayer ceremony was also conducted at a gurdwara in Jawahar Ke village to honour the memory of the late singer.
In 2022, Diljit Dosanjh expressed concern for Moosewala’s parents, acknowledging the pain they must be enduring following their son’s tragic demise. He also highlighted the unfortunate history of artists facing violence in the past. However, he predominantly attributed the responsibility to the government, criticising their perceived negligence.

In an interview with Film Companion, Diljit addressed the passing of Moosewala and Deep Sidhu (who died in a car accident). He remarked, “All of them worked hard. I don’t think an artiste can do anything wrong to anyone, I am talking about my own experience. Mujhe ye manne mein nahi aati baat (I don’t agree with it).
“There could be nothing between him and someone else. So why would anyone kill someone else? This is a very sad thing. Even talking about it is so difficult. Think about it, you have just one child and he dies. His father and mother, how would they be living with it? You cannot imagine what they are going through, only they know it.”
The singer-turned-politician gained prominence for his hit tracks including “So High,” “Same Beef,” “The Last Ride,” “Just Listen,” and “295,” alongside numerous other chart-toppers.
