His track “Banbiha Bole” also entered the top 5 list on the global YouTube music chart.

Since his death, fans and celebrities alike have paid their tribute and expressed their grief through social media. Drake paid a tribute to him by playing his songs 295 and G-Shit during his debut as a radio host for his show Table for One. Diljit Dosanjh, a celebrity singer and actor, paid an emotional tribute to late singer Sidhu Moose Wala during his Vancouver show where he said - ' It is impossible to erase his name from heart'.
