"Naked" Party of Nastya Ivleeva

On 21 December 2023, Vasilyev attended Nastya Ivleeva's "almost naked" party wearing only a sock to cover his genitals.

Vasilyev commented the idea for the sock came from a friend of his who suggested it to him and that he did not imagine that there would be such a huge and resonant response from the public. which led the Lefortovo District Court in Moscow on 27 December to declare the event as "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations". A video was also posted online of the sock being quickly taken off Vacio's penis by another attendee at the party, and Vacio commented that while "...he regretted his first act,[wearing the sock] ...the second arrest was completely incomprehensible to him." At the end of the 15 day sentence, Vasilyev's detention was extended for another ten days again due to petty hooliganism Authorities discussed sending him to serve in the military orchestra. At first it was not clear why Vacio was summoned to the military recruitment center as he was legally unfit to serve in the armed forces due to an unspecified medical condition and it was also commented that "...Vasilyev, 'doesn't face the threat of serving in the army because he had allegedly failed the military-medical commission in his native Yekaterinburg for health reasons.'"

On the 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 conscription office the previous day. Singer Yana Djalu, a friend of Vasilyev, confirmed his departure, stating that Vasilyev felt "pressured" and "not free" in Russia. Vasilyev then later confirmed that he had travelled to Yerevan, Armenia and not the United States and that he had been telling his friends that he had moved to the United States as he was concerned of there being any possibility that he could be extradited from Armenia and he wanted to keep a low profile. Reports also suggested Vasilyev considered renouncing his Russian citizenship, although no official confirmation has been made regarding his emigration or citizenship status.

On 7 January, the St. Petersburg club MOD hosted a concert by the rock group Schenki, during which the group's lead singer Maxim Tesli (real name Maxim Moiseev) went on stage wearing a sock on his penis during the performance.

As noted in the media, Maxim Tesli appeared in public in a similar form back in 2016, and a number of foreign performers even earlier. It was unclear whether Tesli's concert appearance was intended as a gesture of support for Vacio. 2020 — "Неожиданно глубоко" 2022 — "Отец" (with Eldzhey) 2021 — "Soda (Remixes)" (with Eldzhey) 2021 — "Трейнспоттинг" (with Rravingriot) 2021 — "Осень" 2022 — "Project X" 2022 — "Skate" (with "ЛСП") 2022 — "Я / Мы животные" 2022 — "Уу-хуу" (with "Пошлой Молли") 2022 — "Притон" (with Morgenshtern) 2022 — "Когда..." 2022 — "Фотик" 2022 — "XXX" 2022 — "Дурочка" (with Mipunga) 2023 — "11111" (with Mipunga) 2023 — "Знакомство" (with Nxn) 2023 — "Папа" 2023 — "Песня двух романтиков" (with Dima Bilan) 2023 — "Уроды боятся красоты" 2023 — "Внутривенно" 2023 — "Утки 2" (with Mipunga)
