As per ANI, Drake has announced that he will soon be launching Sidhu Moosewala merchandise to pay tribute to the late singer. Drake was seen wearing the same T-shirt when he performed at the concert in Toronto. One can visit Drake's website to buy the T-shirt. The proceeds from the sale of these T-shirts will go to Moosewala's family, who can decide on where they wish to donate.

Sharing about it on the official Instagram page of Drake's website 'Drake Related', the account shared a video of Sidhu Moosewala and wrote, "Sidhu Moose Wala (1993-2022).

Earlier this week, the Grammy-winner during his performance in Toronto, said, "I'm here tonight, grateful, just as a kid who grew up wide-eyed. I'm a fan; I'm one of you tonight. I'm grateful to be from the greatest city in the world..."

For the unversed, Moosewala was gunned down at a village in Mansa on May 29, a day after his security cover was scaled down by the Punjab government. The firing took place continuously for around 10 minutes with unknown gunmen firing around 30 shots of bullets, following which the singer had 19 “firearm wounds” on his body, caused by bullets and pellets. Moosewala was cremated in his ancestral village at Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district as thousands gathered to bid adieu to him.
