July 2022. Drake, the famous and at times controversial musician, takes to the stage in his home city of Toronto, Canada.
That evening, Drake performs in a sweatshirt emblazoned with the face of a turbaned Punjabi man. And underneath the image, in large black font, is his name: Sidhu Moose Wala - 1993 to 2022.
So, who is this man on Drake’s sweatshirt? And why is he dead? This is the first instalment in a 3-part series from the world of Punjabi music.
