Rapper Mystikal, whose legal name is Michael Lawrence Tyler and who received Grammy nominations in the early 2000s, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to third-degree rape in connection with a 2022 assault at his Louisiana home, officials said.
The plea deal capped his sentence at 20 years, reducing the charge from first-degree rape, which carries a mandatory life sentence, according to court records.
