The murder of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala has left his fans and followers devastated.

Drake took to his Instagram handle and shared a story in remembrance of the late rapper-singer. It featured a throwback picture of Moose Wala with his mother along with the caption, "RIP MOOSE @sidhu moosewala."
