Tataloo’s outspoken style, lyrics, and behavior often put him at odds with cultural, religious, or legal norms. Critics accuse him of offending religious beliefs, promoting immoral or “obscene” content, and in some instances, for statements or behavior related to minors. On social media, he has had his accounts banned at times. There have also been controversy over what some see as provocative or borderline behavior e.g. requests directed at underage fans, etc.
Some say he has at times shifted between being more aligned with conservative political themes (e.g. “Energy Hastei”) to being oppositional, depending on the climate. His public stance has not always been consistent, which has invited both support and criticism. He represents a kind of cultural friction someone who pushes or tests boundaries of expression in a tightly controlled cultural/political context. He has become symbolic for many younger who feel restricted by censorship, by social norms, and by political repression.
