In a shocking turn of events amid the murder of popular Punjabi rap singer Sidhu Moose Wala in Ontario, alleged gangster Goldy Brar has confessed to planning the killing of him. In an extraordinary set of voice notes in a rare interview with BBC Eye, Brar spelled out the revenge-fueled reasons for the May 2022 ambush that ended with the 28-year-old artist lying dead in his SUV.
For fans, the news rips open a wound that is still very much raw. Moose Wala, whose real name is Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was more than just a rapper; he was a cultural lightning rod, a voice of the streets, and a hero to millions. But, Brar claims, beyond the fame and the beats, lay links to a much darker world of gangland vendettas.

Brar believes the rapper’s killing wasn’t a random one or just because of player hate. “He was one of the accused of murdering our brother Vicky Middukhera,” said Brar. Middukhera, who had a reputation in Punjab’s gangland and was a close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was shot dead in 2021. Brar alleges that Moose Wala’s global crew, particularly his manager and friend Shaganpreet Singh, had connections to the murder.
That’s not a new charge, but Brar’s words are deathly clear: “What we wanted was for him to be held accountable for what he did. He should have been booked, but he should have been jailed. But they ignored our plea, So we decided to do it ourselves.”
The killing was cold and premeditated in and of itself. Six shooters descended on Moose Wala’s black SUV on a tranquil Sunday morning not far from his village in Punjab, splattering his car with bullets. The artist never had a prayer, and the nature of the hit was so brutal that fans were left shellshocked with the music world mourning deeply and law enforcement scalded.
Brar, who is believed to be hiding in Canada and still on Interpol’s list of most wanted terror suspects, continues to pull the strings in secret. Encrypted apps and voice messages are his vehicle now. And after years of international attention, he is out of reach.
The song’s popularity may have been part of the problem, the journalist Jupinderjit Singh, who has covered Punjab’s gang wars for decades, told the BBC. “His fame made him a target, and he was a threat because of the following he developed.”
“He made some errors that just were unforgivable,” Brar added.
This confession doesn’t rekindle debate about Moose Wala’s murder but compels a hard look at the perilous crossroads where fame and firepower intersect in Punjab. In a region that long ago learned how lyrics could prompt loyalty and bloodshed with equal ease, the rapper’s death becomes more than a tragedy but a warning.
Sidhu Moose Wala may have died in a hail of bullets, but the echoes of that day, now amplified through Brar’s voice, from exile are reverberating against walls in music, politics, and criminal justice.
