In a new radio show called “Table for One” that aired for the first time on Thursday, Drake reportedly played some of his favorite songs, including “295” and “G-Shit” – two songs of the late Punjabi rapper.
“This collaboration will remain a dream forever … RIP … Great respect to Drake for that,” wrote one social media user.
“Omgg this is HUGE !! He played 295 songs Respect @Drake”, wrote another on Twitter.
“The response was global for Sidhu Moosewala, Drake playing 295 and G Class at the program table for one before the release of his new album,” a Twitter account reported.
On May 29, Sidhu was shot and killed in the Mansa area of Punjab, prompting Drake to express his grief on social media.
In a post on his Instagram stories, Drake shared a photo of Sidhu Moose Wala with his mother and the caption, “RIP MOOSE @sidhu_moosewala”. In 2020, Drake started following Moose Wala on Instagram.
Last month, Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in the village of Jawaharke in Punjab’s Mansa district. The incident happened a day after Punjab police withdrew his security, along with that of 423 others.
In December 2021, the singer became a member of the Congress party. Congress has expressed its condolences over Moosewala’s death and said it stands united in this time of grief.
“The assassination of Shri Sidhu Moosewala, a Punjab congressional candidate and talented musician, has shocked Congress and the nation as a whole,” he wrote on Twitter.
“Our heartfelt condolences to his family, fans and friends. “We stand united and fearless, in this moment of extreme sadness,” the party added.
Drake, meanwhile, has released his new album, Honestly, Nevermind. It is a sequel to last year’s Certified Lover Boy. The new LP includes 14 songs.
