Slain Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh, alias Sidhu Moosewala, has reportedly become the first Indian singer to cross 30 million subscribers on YouTube.
Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has around 30.1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, with over 34,000 videos. However, Sidhu’s channel has just 125 videos.
Moosewala’s father Balkaur Singh today said, “Had he been alive, he would have enjoyed it, and things would have been different. It shows that people have not forgotten him. He has become India’s biggest YouTuber. I thank everyone for giving him so much love. The family continues to face issues related to his business, income, and our security, and I am thankful to all those who stand with us.”
His fans are already rejoicing at his next song, titled “Eyes on me”, which is set to be released soon. The singer’s team has already released a poster, hinting that the song may revolve around the circumstances of his murder.
Moosewala, a resident of Moosa village in Mansa district, was shot dead in his jeep at Jawaharke village on May 29, 2022, at the age of 28, sending shockwaves across the globe. He was killed a day after the state government had curtailed his security cover.
The singer’s last posthumous release, “Barota”, launched in November last year, reportedly became the second most-commented video globally on YouTube, crossing 10 million comments.
