Troubled rapper MYSTIKAL is causing a headache for his hip-hop fans after conflicting reports of an early release from prison have appeared on various websites. The SHAKE YA *** star was incarcerated in Louisiana in 2004 as part of a six year sentence for sexual battery, after being convicted of forcing his hairstylist to perform oral sex on him as repayment for allegedly stealing $80,000 (GBP41,000) worth of cheques. Last year (06) he was sentenced to another year in prison on tax evasion charges. However, AllHipHop.com claims a representative from the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the rapper was released earlier this month (11JAN07), almost one year after being denied parole. After posting the story on their site however, close friends of Mystikal - real name MICHAEL L TYLER - rubbished the story. The rapper has so far been unavailable for comment.
in 2003, Mystikal pleaded guilty to sexual battery and extortion. He is currently serving a six year prison sentence in the Louisiana State Prison system. He was eligible for parole in 2005 and 2007, but was denied parole both times.
On January 16, 2004, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sex acts. He also admitted to extortion. The rapper and two bodyguards forced the woman to perform oral sex, after they accused her of stealing $80,000 in checks. Mystikal initially denied the assault, but confessed after a videotape of the crime was found at his home. Bodyguards Leland "Pokie" Ellis and Vercy "V" Carter also pled guilty to sexual battery.[2]
In August 2005, while incarcerated on the state sexual battery and extortion charges, Mystikal was charged federally with two misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns for 1998 and 1999. On January 12, 2006, he was convicted in federal court of the tax offenses, but was allowed to serve the one year federal sentence concurrent with his six year state sentence.[3]
Mystikal is currently incarcerated at Louisiana's Elayn Hunt Correctional Center, which is located just outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His assigned prison number is 00469659. On January 19, 2006, Mystikal was denied parole at a parole board hearing. [3]
On January 11, 2007, Mystikal was released from custody on the federal misdemeanor tax convictions (as his one-year sentence had expired), but he remains in custody on the 6-year sentence for the Louisiana state felony convictions
Rapper MYSTIKAL is preparing to release a greatest hits album - despite serving a six-year jail sentence for sexual battery.
The SHAKE YOUR A** rapper was convicted in January (04), following an incident in July 2002 when a 33-year-old woman accused him and two bodyguards of forcing her to perform sexual acts in repayment for money they claimed she had stolen.
And Mystikal, real name MICHAEL TYLER, is working at keeping his name alive among fans by releasing a greatest hits album called THE PRINCE OF THE SOUTH on 27 July (04). The collection will include two new songs.
