Sassy Mankan, whose real name is Sasan Yafteh, is a famous singer from Iran who makes pop and hip-hop music. He was born on November 11, 1988, in Ahvaz. People also know him as Sasy.

Apart from his music, Sassy's life has some interesting and sometimes complicated stories. He started in Ahvaz and later lived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Now, he lives in the United States.
But things got a bit tricky for Sassy when he got involved in politics. Before the 2009 Iranian presidential election, he met a candidate named Mehdi Karroubi. This caused some problems for Sassy, and people in the media started talking about him. Some even said he got in trouble because he did things without permission.
Sassy had more trouble in 2010 when he was arrested at house parties in Kish. People gave different reasons for his arrest, like supporting a political candidate or dancing in a place called Kish Bazaar. Sassy said in an interview that these were just rumors, not true stories.
In 2021, Sassy faced criticism again. He released a music video for the song "Tehran Tokyo," and it featured a famous adult film star, Alexis Texas. This collaboration upset some people who thought it was not suitable, especially for young audiences. Some even wanted Sassy to be arrested internationally.
Sassy Mankan's life is a mix of music success, political ups and downs, and controversies. Whether he's making hit songs or getting involved in political discussions, Sassy is a person who grabs attention and makes a lasting impact in the Iranian music world.
