Mystikal has been denied bond following allegations that he beat, raped and robbed a woman during a financial dispute in his suburban home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The Grammy nominee, whose real name is Michael Lawrence Tyler, was accused of attacking the woman Saturday in Prairieville and allegedly taking her car keys and holding her at his home against her will, local newspaper the Advocate reported. He also prayed with her to remove "bad spirits," the newspaper said, citing the rapper's arrest warrant.
The 51-year-old rapper, who is a convicted sex offender, was arrested and booked Sunday after law enforcement officials responded to a hospital where a victim who sustained minor injuries identified him as a suspect, the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office said. He was charged with first-degree rape, simple robbery, domestic abuse battery—strangulation, false imprisonment and simple criminal damage to property.
