+ESAM has made several statements in the passed deemed hypocritical by numerous members of the ''Smash'' community. On July 16th, 2020, Technicals would make a video about ESAM describing some of these instances [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foN-L_y-r_w].
-Despite being considered one of the best professional smashers in nearly every game, ESAM has led a controversial career as a smasher, due to a vast majority of statements that he said being marked as "hypocritical" by numerous amount of smash players. On July 16th, 2020. Technicals would make a video about ESAM describing some of these instances [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foN-L_y-r_w].
-Throughout the years 2012 and 2014. ESAM would say multiple racial slurs on websites such as smash boards and on {{Sm|NAKAT}}'s stream [https://smashboards.com/threads/pgd-happy-birthday-red.229275/post-14019802]. One of the comments "go boxing ring" has since become a meme in the community. Since then, however, ESAM has harassed multiple people for doing similar acts. This includes Bocchi who was 15 when she said slurs whereas ESAM was 22. ESAM also notably sent hundreds of people to harass {{Sm|Kiyarash}} over a screenshot of someone using his username to say multiple slurs. In the past, he had done the same thing to {{Sm|FOW}} and {{Sm|MJG}} when false allegations were made about them. After the Kiyarash incident, ESAM then made a tweet criticizing other smash players for "supporting cancel culture" and for trying to actively harm someone's image despite his previous actions [https://twitter.com/imESAM/status/1271807872976986114].

 ESAM would eventually make a video called "Accountability" apologizing for his actions [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqi-LihivaQ&t=292s]. He would also make a Twitter thread where he would apologize to MJG and FOW for promoting the false claims made about them. This section, in particular, was criticized heavily as ESAM also mentioned that he will keep believing every victim who makes a story [https://twitter.com/imESAM/status/1278088286398005248].
 On November 17th, 2020, ESAM would reply to {{Sm|Epic_Gabriel}} sending an extremely vulgar tweet in response to him winning an offline local during a pandemic. [https://twitter.com/imESAM/status/1328790769310822400] After tweeting this, he received a huge amount of backlash for "being too harsh" on Gabe and for not saying anything when his brother {{Sm|NickRiddle}} was also attending locals during the pandemic.
