Controversies
Agassi has been a victim of death hoax stating that he died due to alleged anabolic steroid abuse and prior to his rumored death, had undergone dialysis for a kidney failure. The rumors had been proven false by Agassi himself. Agassi stated in an interview that his buff physique is a product of physical workout since at the age of sixteen.
Given the moniker as "The Prince of (Philippine) Rap", Agassi was met with criticisms in the likes of veteran rappers Loonie, D-Coy of Madd Poets and Krazykyle of Rapskallion. He even filed a case against D-Coy and Krazykyle in 2006 and demanded to pull out the copies of the album United Freestyle v.2 where the lyrics of songs "Right Now" (D-Coy) and "No Album Got Skills" (Krazykyle) contain the lines "Ang dapat sa'yo mag-disappear tulad ng showbiz na si Amir" and "I destroy emcess more than your eyes can see, don't battle me I'll make you look like Carlos Agassi" respectively.The case is however has been quietly settled. In response to criticisms, he together with award-winning rapper Gloc 9 and Mitchell Silonga released a single entitled "Alay Ko" in 2009, a song about Agassi's thoughts on destructive criticisms.
