Mystikal has been arrested in his home state of Louisiana after being accused of rape, among other crimes, according to Baton Rouge’s WBRZ News.
The New Orleans-bred rapper (real name Michael Tyler) was booked into the Ascension Parish Jail on Sunday afternoon (July 31) on multiple felony charges, including first-degree rape, domestic abuse battery; strangulation and robbery.
The 51-year-old has also been charged with two misdemeanors: false imprisonment and criminal damage to property worth less than $1,000. All five offenses reportedly took place at 9:21 a.m. on Sunday morning.
Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office records reveal Mystikal has yet to post bond and is currently behind bars awaiting arraignment.
Mystikal, who was signed to Master P’s No Limit Records in the ’90s and saw his career explode with the 2000 hit “Shake Ya Ass,” is no stranger to being accused of sex crimes.
In 2004, he was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual battery. The rapper and his two bodyguards allegedly forced his hairstylist to perform oral sex on them in return for not turning her into police for cashing $80,000 worth of unauthorized checks from his bank account.
Mystikal was released in 2010 and registered as a sex offender in Louisiana, but found himself back behind bars just two years later on a domestic abuse battery charge against his partner, violating the terms of his probation.
Mystikal's First-Degree Rape Charges Reportedly Dropped
In August 2017, the Ghetto Fabulous MC was charged with rape and held on a $3 million bond stemming from an alleged sexual assault against a woman at a Shreveport casino. However, the charges were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence.
On the music side, Mystikal was recently booked to perform alongside Master P, Trick Daddy, Silkk the Shocker and others on the No Limit Reunion Tour in September, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the legendary Southern rap label.
THIS NASTY MF ALWAYS GETTING CAUGHT OUT THERE WITH THE SAME CRIMES. THIS BUM DOESN’T BELONG IN SOCIETY.
You just can’t make this shit up. Clearly dude is a menace and has a major problem. Prison is not rehabilitation. How about now looking at chemical castration. Sick POS!!
2 words: CHEMICAL CASTRATION
Man they gon rail road dawg this time… taking this pussy crook shit a little too far.
Back in the days I rooted for him thinking the alleged victims falsely accused him so they can cash a big check. But now I begin to believe this motherfucker is actually a sex offender. It’s disgusting. All these rappers/singers/comedians/actors turning to be pervert motherfuckers raping women and shit. What a great time to be alive.
You gotta go man. You got a history of holding women against they will.
Black women having ratchet ass things happen to them for a long time, can you REALLY blame them!?? LOLLLLL. #FreeRKelly
Bro, wtf?
This Mystikal guy has serious problem. Let the law take its course. Wasted talent on drama
He’s sexual predator, lock his @$$ up!
I’m tired of seeing this same headline with Mystical.
I was im doubt at first but numerous times come on bruh if it walk ans quack like a duck its a duck.
All these women ain’t lying.. this fool is a danger to the community at this point. Cannot be trusted alone with women. I was hoping he’d bounce back after the Ronson track but nah….
This guy apparently has a problem. Im a fan and all but damn…
to be fair he did warn everyone. DANGER!
I wonder if when in court he denies all charges and then the prosecution bust out the boom box and start playing ‘Pussy Crook’…..?!?!?!
If you think Mystikal should go to jail, you’re racist.
Spoken like someone white looking for smoke
Shake your ass. But watch yourself! I used to support his music hard. Always knew he was a piece of shit.
Lock this f*cker up and throw away the key. This is coming from someone who used to be a big fan.
Wow… In for a penny, in for a pound
