No the escape velocity never depends on the mass as it has to be greater than the acceleration due to gravity and we know that acceleration and velocity are both dependent on change in velocity and time.
Thus the escape velocity does not depend on the mass of an object.

Answer:

The escape velocity is indpendent of the mass of the body and the direction of projection. It depends upon the gravitational potential at the point from where the body is launched. Since, this potential depends slightly on the latitude and height of the point, therefore, the escape velocity depends slightly on these factors.
