In 2014, Isayev began a YouTube channel where he openly criticized the Azerbaijani leadership, referring to President Ilham Aliyev as a "dictator" and discussing issues of corruption within the country.
In August 2019, while residing in St. Petersburg, Russia, Isayev was detained and subsequently deported to Azerbaijan.
