Iranian Rapper Amir Tataloo Sentenced to 10 Years for 'Immoral' Music

The artist, known for his controversial style, was convicted of spreading 'depravity' and faces immediate imprisonment.

Iran's judiciary confirmed a 10-year prison sentence for rapper Amir Tataloo, citing charges of 'depravity' and 'immoral behavior.'
The sentence was upheld by an appeals court, requiring Tataloo to begin serving his time immediately.
Tataloo, whose real name is Amirhussein Maghsudlu, has a significant following and is known for his polarizing music and public persona.
Authorities in Iran deem his work too 'Western' and 'immoral,' lacking official approval from the country's Ministry of Culture.
Previously living in exile in Turkey, Tataloo was extradited back to Iran in December 2023, where his music remains officially banned.
