Mystikal has been behind bars since 2017, awaiting trial on charges of first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping. But the former No Limit Records artist could be getting out on bail this month thanks to the funds from a new record deal.
According to TMZ, Mystikal — whose real name is Michael Tyler — has secured a deal for three unreleased albums. Tim Yazbeck, one of the veteran MC’s attorneys, says his client will hopefully receive an advance in the coming days that will allow him to post the $3 million bond set by a Louisiana judge.
Joel Pearce, another attorney working for Mystikal, told TMZ the platinum-selling rapper’s friends and family have been working to raise funds for his bail. With their efforts and the anticipated influx of cash from the record deal, Mystikal is closer to his release.
Last week, Mystikal was in court for the latest hearing in his case. According to KSLA News, Pearce argued his client was wrongly caught up in the #MeToo movement.
“I don’t think that anyone should be made to stand trial for number one, something they did not do,” Pearce said. “And number two, something that’s caught up in this political movement, the #MeToo movement. Michael is not guilty of anything.”
Mystikal’s trial is scheduled to begin on May 20. A new judge is overseeing the proceedings after taking over the case in December 2018.

Please…..?….Lock his rapist arse up….Throw away the key….
What if he didnt do it and they accused him because hes known and they thought he had noney?
there must be something seriously wrong with mystikal ,he seems like a great guy but everybody has another side
american justice system …threaten with life to force the defendant to accept 8 to 10
Yes! I can’t wait for a new Mystikal album! Top 5 albums of all time! Honestly, I cant name a single song or album this guy has made… Am I just a hater, or do you guys feel the same way?
You must be mad young if you can’t name a Mystikal song.
Watch Yo Self!!!!!
Maybe if he features Lil Pump you’ll listen to him. Grow up kid
I hate people like you, who automatically think if someone doesn’t like one rapper, that they listen to Lil Pump. People like you are cancer. Mustikal was annoying as hell. All he did was scream on everything. Best outta the south MY ASS. Ludacris was even better than Mustikal lol
You stupid!! Thats my reply, you workin for the CIA? Or you just wanna hear yourself
You know when a song is “featuring Mystikal” he’s gonna fucking kill it!!… A Mystikal album though, ehh. Still looking forward to it though. He has a unique style
a round of applause for Joel Pearce for putting a rapist back in the streets close to our beloved women
a round of applause to Joel Pearce for releasing a rappisst back into the community
Mute Mystikal
Fuck that mute bitch’s be lying and some if you too. I’m sure believer that this whole thing is all bout money. There no need for him to have to do that. There’s so many that’s willing to.
WTF are you even saying?
All them hits and this dude ain’t got 3 million? Just looked it up – this dude had 1 multiplatinum album that went to #1 on the charts, 2 other platinum albums, and 2 gold albums. Not too mention all the features that were hits that this dude had – that joint with Joe back in the day stayed at #1 on the charts for a hot minute. These rappers really need somebody that can handle their finances or just put some of the money in the bank and market instead of around your damn neck man.
he was on Master Pee Pee’s label, that THIEF never paid royalties to ANY of his artists! Ever deals today DO NOT pay an advance unless you are ALREADY sellin’ big, Mystikal’s been ICE COLD for 20 years! Master Pee Pee can’t even GIVE AWAY his new New NoLimit BS!
I really don’t look at this Artist as being the bad guy sometimes you be at the right place at the wrong time. The way the world is today I think they targeting all the people with money. All the people they think got . Please open your eyes you can see it for yourself this guy is a genius.
I don’t believe that he’s that type of man? women has and way coming after man’s money. There’s really no need for him to lose everything he had for something he can get from any women free and willing? know the truth when it’s been told not advantage
Didn’t he go to jail previously for the exact same shit and it was recorded on camera? Just saying hell of a second coincidence…
No limit yesss sir ????? free Michael Tyler soon as possible thank you
If I may add wasn’t God a forgiving God. People is not the same person that was twenty years ago some people do change.
Keep his ass in there. We don’t need anymore rapists on the outside thank you. I’ll be petitioning to keep him locked up and emailing the Justice system.
How could you fix your fingers to say something like that…. you know that man is innocent
I have a friend in the Justice System and he says that they haven’t received your email yet. You better hurry up and send it before they let him out!
So the message is
Have money and get better privilege? Idk if dude guilty or not. What about normal people who are in the same situation as him if not lesser alledge crimes?
Best south MC ever!!!!
(South is sick but this guy got the chops)
I don’t believe he did this and he’s innocent until proven guilty yet they already locked him up
People don’t get remanded for nothing. There must be strong enough evidence to have locked him up
How’s he not have 3 mil for bail tho
Somebody actually invested 3 mil on a convicted rapist ?
Go and do ur thing u still da black prince of da south in my eyes ya heard me and I do believe he Innocent just another ho out to get his money
