New Delhi: On Sunday, the father of the late rapper Sidhu Moose Wala announced the birth of a son.


"Thanks to the good wishes of the lakhs and crores of Subhdeep's followers and fans, Akal Purakh has sent Shubh's little brother to our laps," Sardar Balkaur Sidhu wrote on Instagram in Punjabi.


"My wife's health is fine, thanks to the blessings of the Almighty, and we both are beholden to our well-wishers for showering us with their support."


Moose Wala's real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, which explains the reference to Shubhdeep in the announcement.


The announcement is accompanied by a picture of the proud father with the newborn.


 






As soon as the announcement was made, fans and followers rushed to the comments section of the post to extend their heartiest congratulations.


Popular singer Jazzy B commented on the post, "Waheguru ji🙏🏽"


One user wrote, "Waheguru khush rakhe ah shota sidhu apna veera da insaf hunda v dekhe (Waheguru may keep him happy, that little Sidhu may see the justice of his hero.)


Another user commented, "Congratulations to everyone😍😍"


It was revealed in February that Charan Kaur, the late mother of Punjabi artist Sidhu Moosewala, is 58 years old and expecting her second child via IVF. Sidhu was the sole child of Charan Kaur and Balkaur Singh, who died tragically in 2022. For more than half a year, Charan Kaur has kept a low profile and avoided public notice.


On May 29, 2022, Sidhu Moosewala was shot and killed in the Mansa district of Punjab. The incident happened the day after his security protection was removed, as part of the state government's attempt to reduce the VIP culture.


According to authorities, Moosewala left his home on May 29 at about 4:30 p.m. with his neighbour Gurwinder Singh and cousin Gurpreet Singh. He was travelling in his SUV to his aunt's Barnala residence. Two vehicles blocked his SUV at Jawaharke. During the incident, about thirty bullets were fired. 


In Moosewala's murder case, 25 of the 31 accused—including criminals Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar—have already been placed under arrest.
