Wednesday, June 17, 2026 - American Rapper Mystikal has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to r@ping a woman at his Louisiana home in 2022.
The victim appeared before the court on Tuesday, June 16,
and asked for the maximum sentence.
She spoke of the incident where Mystikal “choked
her, pulled braids out of her hair and forcibly r@ped her.”
After she spoke, the rapper told the courtroom, “If I did that to you, I
deserve the max sentence.”
Mystikal, whose real name is Michael Tyler, was arrested in
2022 for first-degree r@pe and false imprisonment.
In March 2026, he pleaded guilty to lesser charges of
third-degree r@pe.
According to WBRZ, he filed a motion last Friday, June
12, to withdraw his plea because he “did not have sufficient opportunity to
fully consider the consequences” before confessing to the crime. The filing
stated that he was “under significant emotional distress and felt substantial
pressure to make an immediate decision.”
The rapper, best known for the hits “Shake Ya Ass” and
“Danger (Been So Long),” was arrested in 2022 on accusations of beating,
choking and robbing a woman at his home in Ascension Parish. The victim, who
was not named in the report, said he took her keys and phone and r@ped her
while she searched for the money he had taken. He then allowed her to leave
after forcing her to send him money via CashApp.
The 55-year-old would have been facing a life sentence had
he been convicted of initial charges that included first-degree r@pe, simple
criminal damage to property, domestic abuse battery by strangulation, simple
robbery, and false imprisonment in the assault.
Mystikal faced similar domestic abuse charges in 2004 after
s£xually assaulting his hairstylist and subsequently spent six years in prison.
In 2012, he was jailed for three months on misdemeanor domestic abuse charges,
and five years later, he was charged with r@pe and kidnapping before the case
was dropped.
