# Vacío (rapper)

Nikolai Mikhailovich Vasilyev (Russian: Никола́й Миха́йлович Васи́льев (stage name: Vacío (Васи́о); born 13 February 1998, Yekaterinburg), is a Russian rapper.

## Biography

Vasilyev was born on 13 February 1998 in Yekaterinburg. In his early years he obtained musical education through classes on piano, and later, guitar.
Later, he began to get involved in rap and create compositions in this genre.

### "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. 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.
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.
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.
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. Reports also suggested Vacio considered renouncing his Russian citizenship, although no official confirmation has been made regarding his emigration or citizenship status.
