Following the announcement of the Longist applicants for the National Selection for Eurovision-2025, Enlao was criticized for his musical choice. Nikita Leontiev, known under the pseudonym Enleo, who became one of the contenders for participation in the national selection for Eurovision-2025, put on criticism because he listened to Russian performers. It became known on December 3, when the blogger Kiri posted a video in Tiktok, where he asked Enleo if he listened to the Russians.

Thus, after the announcement of the Longist contenders on December 11, the network began to actively spread that Enleo sometimes listens to the music of Russian artists, despite three years of war. In particular, the video artist confessed that he had recently listened to the rapper Oxxxymiron, because he opposed the war and even the Dots in support of the Armed Forces. "These are the songs I listened to the war.

Oxxxymiron against the war, and it seems that he even dreamed on the Armed Forces," Enlao said. The performer also demonstrated his playlist, which, in addition to Oxxxymiron, were tracks of the Belarusian LSP group and Russian singer Markul, which further emphasized his choice. Enleo confession has caused controversy on the network: some of the listeners do not share his views, while others say that it is simply nostalgia for the past.
