=== "Naked" Party of Nastya Ivleeva ===

{{main|Almost Naked Party}}

On 21 December 2023, Vasilyev attended Nastya Ivleeva's "almost naked" party wearing only a sock to cover his genitals. The event sparked widespread public outrage in Russia and beyond. Male attendees at the party were seen licking the sock, which led the Lefortovo District Court in Moscow on 27 December to declare the event as “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations”. Vacio was arrested for 15 days and fined 200,000 rubles.{{Cite web|url=https://www.business-gazeta.ru/news/618434|title=Court declares Ivleeva's "naked" party as LGBT propaganda|lang=en|website=Business Online|date=2023-12-27|access-date=2024-01-01}}

On 22 December, Vasilyev released a public apology video, stating that he does not support LGBT movements, did not intend to promote any agenda, and condemns the movement's supporters.{{Cite web|url=https://iz.ru/1625062/2023-12-22/reper-vacio-izvinilsia-za-uchastie-v-skandalnoi-vecherinke-ivleevoi|title=Rapper VACÍO apologizes for participating in Ivleeva's scandalous party|lang=en|website=Izvestia|date=2023-12-22|access-date=2024-01-01}}

At the start of 2024, Vacio's detention was extended, and he was taken to the military enlistment office. Authorities discussed sending him to serve in the military orchestra.{{Cite web|url=https://argumenti.ru/society/2024/01/877893|title=Participant of Ivleeva's "naked" party, rapper Vacio, to serve in military orchestral units|website=Argumenty Nedeli|access-date=2024-06-24}}{{Cite web|url=https://momenty.org/people/24177|title=Yekaterinburg designers release sock collection named after rapper Vacio|lang=en|website=momenty.org|access-date=2024-06-24}}

On 14 May 2024, Vasilyev's representative announced that the rapper had left Russia for the United States. This came after he failed to appear at the military enlistment office the previous day. Singer Yana Djalu, a friend of Vasilyev, confirmed his departure, stating that Vacio felt "pressured" and "not free" in Russia.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gazeta.ru/culture/news/2024/05/14/23004409.shtml|title=Rapper Vacio receives summons and leaves Russia|lang=en|website=Gazeta.ru|date=2024-05-14}} Reports also suggested Vacio considered renouncing his Russian citizenship, although no official confirmation has been made regarding his emigration or citizenship status.{{Cite web|url=https://the-flow.ru/news/shot-vacio-uehal-v-ssha|title=Shot: Vacio leaves for the USA and wants to renounce Russian citizenship|lang=en|website=The-Flow.ru|access-date=2024-06-24}}
