Diljit Dosanjh Goes Global: From Met Gala Royalty to a Fiery Collab with Jackson Wang

Diljit Dosanjh is clearly in his international era—and he’s doing it with flair, tradition, and fire beats. After making waves as the first turban-wearing Indian artist to walk the Met Gala red carpet, the Punjabi superstar is turning heads once again with a powerhouse collaboration. This time, he's teaming up with none other than Chinese rapper and global music sensation Jackson Wang for an explosive track titled Buck, dropping May 9.

 

Proving you can stay rooted while reaching for the stars, Diljit’s Met Gala debut was nothing short of iconic. Ditching the typical tux, he arrived in a regal Punjabi ensemble—a cream kurta, traditional tehmat, and his signature turban, paying homage to his Sikh identity on one of the world’s most-watched red carpets. He made culture couture. And yes, the internet couldn’t stop talking about his effortless swag.

 

Just when fans were catching their breath from his Met Gala moment (and a buzzed-about run-in with none other than Shakira!), Diljit hit us with another surprise. Jackson Wang, known for his genre-bending music and massive global following, shared a teaser for their upcoming track Buck—and the vibe is already off the charts. Diljit shared the teaser on his Instagram Story, and fans from both sides of the globe are ready to go wild.

 

From fashion’s biggest night to the world music stage, Diljit is rewriting the playbook for global Indian artists. Whether he’s draped in tradition or dropping multilingual bangers, he’s not just representing Punjab—he’s putting it on the world map, one iconic move at a time.
