Who is Mystikal? Louisiana rapper, 51, arrested on rape, robbery and false imprisonment charges
Grammy-nominated rapper Michael Lawrence Tyler, better known as Mystikal and hailing from Louisiana, was arrested on Sunday, July 31. Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office announced that the rapper, with an extensive criminal history, was arrested on rape and false imprisonment charges on Sunday, July 31. It all started with the officers responding to a call from an area hospital regarding a sexual assault that linked the crime to Mystikal.
Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office spokesperson Donovan Jackson said, "He was arrested and booked into the Ascension Parish Jail. This is an ongoing investigation. Further details may be limited at this time." The 51-year-old rapper is now facing charges of first-degree rape, simple robbery, domestic abuse battery, false imprisonment and simple criminal damage to property. Attorney Roy Maughan, representing the rapper said, "Our investigation into the facts has just begun, but we expect Mystikal will be granted bail." Mystikal has collaborated with big names like Lil Wayne, Birdman, Busta Rhymes, Nivea, and more. He also teased a collaboration with Drake back in 2012 which never happened.
