Punjabi singer and songwriter Sidhu Moosewala's social media team has issued a statement on Instagram warning against unauthorized interviews and remixes of his songs. The statement reads, "There are a couple of things that were brought to our attention. First off, several production houses are approaching Sidhu's team members or his close acquaintances about interviews for a crime based documentary. They are alleging they have Sidhu's Parents' Permission for these interviews. We wanted to clearly state that no one has been given permission for the same. Please refrain from getting involved in these projects."
The statement continues, "Secondly, there has been a lot of buzz lately with the Al tracks that are being put out on various platforms. Even though these songs are put out in good faith and we understand that the idea is to help Sidhu's legacy live forever, but please acknowledge that it does more damage than good. His talent was unmatched and we would like it to stay the same. We humbly request Al music producers to put an end to remixing Sidhu's songs. Thank you."
The statement comes after several production houses allegedly approached Sidhu's team members and close acquaintances for interviews regarding a crime-based documentary. Sidhu's team has clarified that no one has been given permission for such interviews and has requested that people refrain from getting involved in these projects.
Additionally, the statement addresses the recent trend of Al tracks, or Artificial Intelligence-generated music, featuring Sidhu's songs. While the intention behind these remixes is to keep Sidhu's legacy alive, his social media team believes that it does more harm than good to his unmatched talent and has requested that Al music producers put an end to remixing his songs.
The singer-turned-politician was shot dead in Jawaharke village in Mansa district of Punjab, a day after the Punjab government curtailed his security cover.
