The anguish and horror that followed Moose Wala's death were unprecedented, and his impact was visible even in the end when hundreds of people gathered at his cremation site.
To keep his memory alive, the singer-family politician's cremated him in their fields rather than the village's crematory. Many people still visit the location on a regular basis to pay their respects to the Moose Wala, and it has become something of a pilgrimage destination.

G Wagon was Moose Wala's debut song as a performer, however, he began his music career as a songwriter with License by Ninja. He quickly gained so much recognition and a large fan base that he became known as one of the most prominent Punjabi artists of the contemporary day.
So High, 47, Bambiha Bole, and other songs are among his most popular. Moose Wala was also involved in a number of disputes as a result of the contentious lyrics in several of his songs.
