Rapper Mystikal<\/strong> has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to rape.<\/p>\n

Local ABC affiliate WBRZ<\/a> reported that Mystikal (real name Michael Tyler) appeared in court on Tuesday, June 16, to receive his sentencing. The rapper, 55, was accused of raping a woman in his Prairieville, Louisiana, home back in 2022, to which he pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n

The victim, whose name has not been publicly revealed, appeared in court on Tuesday, asking the court to impose the maximum sentence. While addressing the judge, the woman claimed that Mystikal \u201cchoked her, pulled braids out of her hair and forcibly raped her.\u201d<\/p>\n

After she spoke, Mystikal told the court, \u201cIf I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGrammy-nominated rapper Mystikal is headed back to prison. On Tuesday, March 17, the Louisiana rapper \u2014 born Michael Tyler \u2014 pleaded guilty to a third-degree rape charge stemming from a violent 2022 incident. A woman had accused Tyler of beating, choking and robbing her inside his Ascension Parish home. Tyler allegedly confiscated the victim\u2019s keys [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mystikal received 20 years for third-degree rape \u2014 five years less than the maximum punishment allowed by law.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Mystikal was arrested for first-degree rape and false imprisonment. Earlier this year, the \u201cShake Ya Ass\u201d musician agreed to a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to lesser charges of third-degree rape.<\/p>\n

WBRZ reported that Mystikal filed a motion last week to withdraw his plea because he \u201cdid not have sufficient opportunity to fully consider the consequences\u201d and that Mystikal was \u201cunder significant emotional distress and felt substantial pressure to make an immediate decision.\u201d The motion was dismissed by the judge.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Mystikal has had a run-in with the law. In 2003, the \u201cDanger (Been So Long)\u201d performer was accused of sexually assaulting his hairstylist. He ultimately pleaded guilty to sexual battery and extortion. The following year, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in state prison. Mystikal was released in 2010 and was required to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn the morning of July 2, inside a packed lower Manhattan courtroom, Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs was declared not guilty on the three most serious charges against him in his high-profile sex trafficking trial. Upon hearing the verdict \u2014 he was acquitted of two counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering conspiracy and convicted [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2012, Mystikal was arrested again for misdemeanor domestic abuse charges. He was detained for nine days before being released on bail. Mystikal was ultimately given a three-month sentence for violating the terms of his probation following his release from prison two years prior.<\/p>\n
