Controversyedit
In May 2013, Athari was arrested outside of the entrance of his apartment in the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Athari was charged with drug possession with the intention to promote and got a life sentence in court. He almost got death penalty when two out three voted for death sentence. But after he created an online petiton [11] where 65 000 people signed for justice in his case, his sentence got reduced to 10 years in appeal court.[12][2][13][14] After an unchanged ruling for his sentence in supreme court, he came up with the idea to create a rap song, in which he asks SheikhMohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and ruler of the Emirate of Dubai for a pardon.[15][16][2] He got a special pardon because of the rap-song after being in jail for almost 3 years. This has never happened before.[17]
