Arrests.
Sasy was arrested on April 27, 2010 while attending several house parties in Kish.

One week after Sasy's arrest, the deputy police chief, Ahmadreza Radan, said of Sasy's arrest: "The police will definitely include someone like this who is looking for so-called anomalies." However, in an interview with Rapfa, Sasy described his arrest as mere rumor.
Collaboration with Alexis Texas.
In March 2021, the release of the music video for the song "Tehran Tokyo" by Sasy Mankan, starring porn star Alexis Texas, was met with much criticism. A group called his songs immoral for young audiences, and a fall into art and culture, the result of preventing real happiness in society and the lack of teaching Iranian music in schools. A group blamed the broadcaster's poor performance on music and its closed view.
