Career
An underground musician unauthorized by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Tataloo is "a rapper with so many fans" in words of Time and has a "strong fan base" among the youth in Iran according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. His style has been described as "popular flashy blend of pop, rap and R&B".
As of March 2017, he has up to 4 million followers on Instagram and 1.3 million followers on Facebook, making him one of the most popular Iranians on social media.
In Politics
Tataloo formerly criticized the establishment for not licensing his music, which is deemed as "Western, non-Iranian and immoral" by the government, although he kept distance from politics.
In 2015, he made a shift towards Iran's conservative agenda, pledging his support for the supreme leader of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on numerous occasions, as well as advocating mandatory hijab.
In 2017, Tataloo initially endorsed Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf for the Iranian presidential election. Following Ghalibaf's drop-out, Tataloo sided with Ebrahim Raisi and publicly met him.
Arrests
Tataloo was jailed twice in 2013 and 2016. Iranian morality police briefly arrested him in December 2013 for distributing his banned music to illegal foreign satellite channels. He was arrested again on 23 August 2016 and spent two months in prison without any clear announcements regarding the charges against him, however he was reportedly charged with “encouraging fasad and fahsha”. His fans posted comments on social media accounts of the supreme leader of Iran, demanding his release.
Nuclear Energy song
During the Iran/5+1 nuclear talks in Vienna, in July 2015, Tataloo released a song supporting the Iranian nuclear program. The music video was produced on the Iranian navy ship Damavand.
Telegram audio message
He published an audio message in May 2017 on his Telegram channel, stating he “knew nothing about politics” and his political posts are forwarded by a friend in the IRGC Intelligence Organization with “enough political information to provide us with excellent guidance”.
