“I always had the feeling that Sidhu and Drake would collab one day because they both have links to Toronto and it would have been massive for the Punjabi music industry, it’s a shame we’ll never see it happen now,” said a fan. “Didn’t even get to see that Drake x Sidhu collab or that Nav x Sidhu collab,” wrote another. “Being a punjabi, I am a die-hard fan of Sidhu Moose Wala and just tweeted before his death that I wanted a collab of him with drake. Life is so unpredictable. Always loved his vibe. I’ll miss him,” tweeted another fan.
