Fresh Rumours About Sidhu Moose Wala’s Return

New Delhi, December 18, 2025: The digital world has been set ablaze once again by a wave of speculation surrounding the late Punjabi icon, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moose Wala. In December 2025, a viral video surfaced across social media platforms, leading thousands of grief-stricken fans to ask a singular, hopeful question: Is Sidhu Moose Wala still alive? The footage, which shows a man with an uncanny resemblance to the “5911” singer, has triggered a massive debate about the truth behind his tragic passing in 2022.

The Viral Video That Ignited the Rumours

The controversy was sparked by a video initially shared by Canadian rapper AR Paisley on Instagram, captioned “2 AM IN NYC.” In the grainy, low-light footage, a tall man was observed walking alongside the rapper, sporting a physique and facial profile remarkably similar to that of Moose Wala.

Within hours, the clip was seen being reposted by hundreds of fan accounts with sensational headlines. Many enthusiasts claimed that the “legend had returned,” while others suggested that the singer had been living in hiding abroad for security reasons. The video gained such traction that “Sidhu Moose Wala Alive” began trending on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, fueled by the sheer desperation of a fanbase that has never truly made peace with his loss.

The Reality Check: Clarification from Big Boi Deep

As the rumours reached a fever pitch, a definitive clarification was issued by Big Boi Deep, an artist who was a close associate of the late singer. It was revealed by him in an emotional social media post that the person seen in the viral NYC video was actually his brother, not the slain singer.

Why the Rumours Persist

The persistence of these rumours is being viewed by cultural analysts as a form of “collective grief.” Sidhu Moose Wala was assassinated in May 2022 in a high-profile shooting that shocked the world. Because he has remained a dominant figure in the music charts through posthumous releases like “Mera Na” and “Drippy,” a sense of “digital immortality” has been created.

Furthermore, the recent news of a 2026 World Tour—planned using advanced hologram technology and archival footage—has inadvertently contributed to the confusion among younger fans who may mistake digital projections for reality.

As the investigation into the 2022 murder continues to see developments, such as the recent “revenge” killing of kabaddi player Rana Balachauria in December 2025, the singer’s name remains constantly in the headlines. While the viral video has been proven to be a case of mistaken identity, it serves as a stark reminder of the void left behind by the artist. The legend of Sidhu Moose Wala lives on through his music, but the man himself remains a memory.
